 The Kimba Street Bushcare Group is now in its sixth year. Even before our group was formed several attempts had been made to eliminate Chinese elm and ochna and other invasive weeds in the Reserve. We are now working to a plan, supported and guided by the City Councils Habitat Brisbane Program. We are a small but enthusiastic group which meets once a month. Our work commenced at the Clarina St park end of the reserve and we have had good success in this area. The once impenetrable morning glory vine thickets are almost totally eliminated now in the reserve.With assistance from the Council, other groups and a recent grant, several areas of Chinese elm, ochna, and cats whiskers vine have been attacked with some success.
Because of the large area of this reserve and constant new weed introductions, there is still much to do to preserve the natural integrity of this bushland.
