Summary
Cape ivy (Senecio angulatus) is a vigorous weed invading steep potentially unstable Pliestocene sand sites, and backdune sites at Glinks Gully, western Northland. Options for the control of this weed and restoration using native plants were discussed during field visits and a presentation on restoration of sand dunes was given to the Glinks Gully Protection Society, in collaboration with the Northland Regional Council.
