Tarrangower Cactus Control Group

Cactus-Warriors

The Tarrangower Cactus Control Group Inc. (TCCG) consists of Landcare volunteers dedicated to the eradication of Wheel Cactus (Opuntia robusta).

 We provide advice and assistance to property owners and community members, to encourage and motivate everyone to control this noxious weed.

Our volunteers, “Cactus Warriors”, are available to discuss and demonstrate best practice control techniques and provide free loans of equipment.

In collaboration with Parks Victoria, we hold informal community field days to help control Wheel Cactus infestations in Maldon Historic Reserve and provide an opportunity for volunteer community members to assist in preserving our native environment. These field days also provide an opportunity to meet neighbours and form local neighbourhood action groups.
