Wheel ‘cactus warriors’ resume their war path
Posted on 18 April, 2016 by Connecting Country
The Tarrangower Cactus Control Group (TCCG) had fun participating in the recent Maldon Easter Fair parade (see photo). The ‘cactus warriors’ celebrated their 10th Birthday and their efforts destroying millions of Wheel Cactus plants over this time. They won a well-deserved First Prize for the ‘Best Community Entry’ award.

Now that the ‘fun of the fair’ is over, it’s time for the faithful army of Wheel ‘Cactus Warriors’ to continue their war against this noxious weed. The TCCG and Parks Victoria are inviting all interested folk to join them at their monthly Community Field Days, which are always held on the last Sunday of the month, from April to November.
This year’s season of field days will be launched on Sunday 24th April 2016 and will be officially opened by their special guest Asha Bannon, Mount Alexander Region’s new Landcare Facilitator. The location will be at a property in Waterson’s Road and will be well signposted along Waterson’s Road from the turnoff at Bridgewater Road (click here for map). The morning’s activities will begin at 10:30 am and end at 12:30 pm with an enjoyable BBQ and friendly chat. If you have any queries, please contact Ian from TCCG on 0412 015 807 or check out our website at www.cactuswarriors.org.
