Let’s keep an eye out for this w**d. Our rainforests are so important.

Did you know that Miconia (Miconia calvescens) is one of the biggest threats to our rainforests? 😟
Miconia seeds can remain viable for up to 16 years and a mature tree can produce up to 5 million seeds.
Since 2003 our W**d Biosecurity Officers have searched thousands of hectares of private and public land, removing almost 200 individual plants from the environment. This might sound like a small number, but their removal has prevented potential large-scale incursions within the Big Scrub. 🍂🌿
