We are a not for profit incorporated association. Our members include government and non government agencies and practitioners working together to promote effective weed management in the Sydney Metropolitan and Lower Blue Mountains Region.
Much of the material for this website has been supplied by members of the SWC to help increase community knowledge of weeds, their impact and the techniques for control that make weeding a lot easier.
Special thanks go to the many members who have supplied photographs. These include weeds officers and others who have worked with member agencies. Particular thanks go to Rob Gleeson, Adam Burrowes, Sue Stevens and Terry Inkson (of Great Lakes Council) whose photographs are used extensively in weed identification resources. Acknowledged also is the format of the ‘Garden Escapees booklet’, originally a publication by Great Lakes Council in association with the Mid North Coast Weeds Advisory Committee. We relied heavily on the format and content of that booklet for the Sydney version.
