Bitou Busters weed The Boulevarde Tea Gardens, Hawks Nest by NOTA - June 2, 2016 It threatened rain, but none fell for the 17 Bitou Busters who had a very busy and fruitful morning weeding on The Boulevarde at Winda Woppa. Ann Woods, Anne Haskew, Jill Madden co-ordinator, Trevor Stevenson, Jacqui Bright, Ken O’Farrell, Michael Richie, Rob Hughes, Greg Stroud, Judy Hughes, Ross Piper, Peter Collins, Gwenda Collins, Adele Richie, Peter Madden, Ian Morphett On Saturday 28 May, the Busters filled a dozen or more bags with the aptly named ground weed mother-of-millions. Another group chased the morning glory vine while a third team tackled the bitou, and everyone else did a combination of all three. The council has funding to use a specialised team employing the Worimi Bush Regeneration group to complete a large-scale asparagus control program in Winda Woppa – including The Boulevarde area where the Bitou Busters have been working.

Many thanks to all the Bitou Busters who came along to assist with such a great initiative.
