Take Action

The Victorian Government is promoting one of the state’s worse emerging weeds for salinity control.

Tall Wheat Grass (Lophopyrum ponticum) has the potential to invade more than half the state and is a far greater threat than the salinity problem it is meant to solve.

The lack of controls on this rogue grass highlights the failings of current weed laws and policies.

You can help by asking the Victorian Government to declare Tall Wheat Grass a weed and for governments to reform weed laws.
