Management Project - Stop Rubber Vine Reaching the Northern Territory

The project aims to prevent the westward spread of rubber vine into Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) National Park and the Northern Territory by concentrating activities in the 100km NT/Qld buffer zone and by maintaining control of rubber vine west of the Rubber Vine Containment Line. Infestations threatening critical aquatic habitat of the Leichhardt, Cloncurry and Flinders Rivers will be targeted. The project will also provide ongoing support for the development of techniques for the aerial recognition of rubber vine and application to inaccessible infestations.
