@Academic_Gian @AngelaMoles1 That would be great! What plant species have you been looking at so far?

[Michael Tweedie @mtweed84]

@MargotSaville That's good, I hope that they can work around the ridiculous roadblocks that they faced last time.

[Michael Tweedie @mtweed84]

@MargotSaville But what do you do when universities can't directly attract male applicants to fill skills shortages?

[Michael Tweedie @mtweed84]

Still searching for the silver bullet for treating Opuntia spp. with push back against chemical use, biological controls are an alternative (although less immediate) method.

This app will hopefully be online soon and has been designed specifically to target weeds.

[Michael Tweedie @mtweed84]

@Asher_Wolf @datakid23 The apps we recommend are inaturalist for both documenting and ID (with AI and other users) and the NSW weedwise app for treatment and ID. It varies state to state though. I am in the ACT.

@MelanieEmmajade They're a species of gudgeon, maybe fire?

Just get hold of Pratto, Prutti and Patti, three different contractors all doing different jobs. None of whom I have met or spoken to previously. What could go wrong? #thisisAustralia

The practice cactus. Trialing effectiveness of different herbicides on wheel cacti.

Asset protection in the high country. It stood waiting for almost a month before it was used.

@blondebigirl That is so cool!

[Michael Tweedie @mtweed84]

Locals only!
Living on park is a highlight of this job. 2 minute walk to work and then exploring after knock off.

Better get used to this one! One of the shit jobs when you're a ranger. Still, there's no point in bitching about it. Get in and get it done. #whatrangersdo #NRM #ranger #shitjob

Almost makes up for getting paid just above minimum wage. #doitforlove #whatrangersdo #NRM #gettothechopper

And then I was a traffic controller.... #whatrangersdo #NRM #ParksAndRecreation

What I had hoped that I would get to do when I first started my degree. Pest mitigation work. Shame it's only a small project that I won't get to see through. #NRM #whatrangersdo #trailcam

Overheard "Their deadlines, double them and their promises, halve them".
Fun times with other agencies! #whatrangersdo
