The Onion Weed Problem in Brookfield Conservation Park

The main aim of our project at Brookfield was to remove onion weed that was introduced by the early settlers. Neither native or introduced animals eat this weed. The weed spreads rapidly and takes over natural areas of native bush, this threatens the existence of the Southern hairy-nosed wombats in the area.
