Spraying to start from tomorrow

2/21/2022

0 Comments

 
From tomorrow until the end of April (excluding weekends and public holidays), there will be intermittent spraying in and around Lake Dunstan to control Lagarosiphon in our waterways.
This work is dependent on suitable weed, water, and weather conditions and therefore the timing is subject to change.

Diquat in gel form will be used to treat aquatic weeds and will be applied by both aerial and boats based spraying methods.
​
There is be a 24-hour stand-down on swimming, fishing, or taking water for irrigation or domestic supply once the spraying is complete.

Yesterday we met on-site with Enviroschools Otago and Clyde Railhead Community Eco-Nursery to plan for an incredible project to plant 200 native plants with the help of green-fingered students along Lake Dunstan to promote biodiversity.
By giving the younger generation an area that they plant, manage and watch thrive they will learn ownership of their local environment and know that thanks to their efforts, birds, insects, and reptiles will have their habitat restored.
