News
Caloundra Tree Poisonings
Two trees in Bulcock St and five in Happy valley have been poisoned. The apparently unrelated attacks were probably attempt to improve views. Caloundra City Council is urging anyone with information to contact them or the Police. Senseless vandalism destroys living heritage (March 2008)
Weedy lily not so glorious
Glory Lily (Gloriosa superba) is proving a significant threat to coastal dune vegetation on the Sunshine Coast. Herbicide trials are underway to develop a strategy for controlling the garden escape without unnecessary damage to native vegetation. Education of gardeners to prevent future infestations will also be undertaken. Read more at the Maroochy Council website: Glory Lily, a Coastal Curse (February 2008)
