Does bush regeneration really work?
Yes. The gradual and well-planned removal of weeds has been proven to be effective in both the eradication of weeds and the emergence of native plants in a bushland setting. Careful follow-up weeding in areas that have been cleared previously ensures that weeds do not simply reinvade a site and, allows native plants to develop and out-compete weeds over time. The gradual changes that result from bush regeneration activities are best measured over months and years rather than days and weeks.
