Polyphagous shot-hole borer (PSHB) Information Evening

The tiny beetle native to Southeast Asia has become a very large concern in WA. It threatens many species of flora including our precious natives that we work so hard to preserve. There has been a need to remove many trees that have been alive longer than many of us and that are woven into our lives. Trees that have formed precious memories in our hearts and minds through countless wedding pictures, childhood picnics and simple walks with people we love.

It is important that we all have a better understanding of how to identify this problem so reports can be made to the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD). Therefore, an information night is to be held at the Civic center with guest speaker, Katelyn Fox, Public Information officer from DPIRD.

It is open to all members of the community, particularly those that are active in care of our natural areas throughout the City of Bayswater. The session will be held at 6pm on Wednesday the 30th of October and will run for approximately 1 hour.

Please pass this on to all you may think will benefit from the knowledge that will be presented during the evening session.

It would be appreciated if an email could be sent to the address below if you wish to attend. This will give an indication of seating requirements for the evening.

Thank you
