Waging war in our backyards
Taking grassroots action to protect Wimmera Mallee crops from biosecurity threats is in everybody's best interests, Rainbow and District Landcare Group says. Whether fruit and fruiting vegetables are being grown for only one household or as part of Australia's multi-billion-dollar domestic and export horticulture industry, the group says every resident in the region can play their part. Group secretary Bernard Young and president Bruce Heinrich are leading the charge against the swarms that continue to wreck havoc across the Wimmera.
