Native Species Benefit from Weed Removal

South Coast environmentalists report a marked increase in numbers of two of our favourite native species, Kikuyu illawarraii and Taurus australis.

President of the South Coast Native Protection League, Mr Murray Grey, says extensive clearing of privet, Madeira vine and other weeds has created the ideal habitat for ‘Kike’ and ‘3% Butterfat’ as they are affectionately known.

"In particular the black and white morph of Taurus australis and Kike seem to have a symbiotic relationship,” he observed.

"It's not often you find a complete ecosystem comprised of only two species. Further clearing of some of the invasive growth of Eucalyptus exotica, Toona pacifica etc would assist this unique duo to flourish," he said.

"Everyone knows that Toona belong in the sea," he concluded.
