hardwicke bay revegetation project

the aim of the re vegetation project is to Gain an understanding of the introduction of ‘alien plants’ (weeds) by humans and their impact on Australian natural environments and economy. we planted native plants to Australia to drive out the foreign ones where we smoothed ground, put down mulch and planted them.

Q1. weeds are bad for small towns because it acts like a plague and grow everywhere. three weeds that affect the environment are sour sobs, onion weeds and box thorns.

Q2. humans are one of the largest problems of distribution of weeds because they bring weeds which are foreign to Australia to plant it and think it is beautiful.

Q3. some of the common ways weeds spread are by humans planting them and birds who take the seeds out of them and drop them over the plains.

Q4. weeds are not the same all over Australia because some are foreign to Australia and some grow in different areas such as places with more different climate.

Q5. climate change is likely to affect weeds because more plants will be introduced to withstand the climate.

Q6. people volunteer to weed and plant new plants because to help build a safe environment.

Q7. i can plant new plants which are good and stable for Australia's harsh environment and help out in the scrub lands in towns in the outback. i can hand out plants from house to house and let others be aware of this problem.
