Attack on the Tree of Heaven, 23 April

Seven of us attacked the Tree of Heaven (ToH) infestation on Mt Rogers on Sunday. The patch was several hundred square metres in size when we began. It's about 1/3 or 1/2 that now!! It'll be under attack again, probably, on 1 May.

You can see a difference as we wound up for the morning (camera's clock unadjusted).

As we check no tools are left behind, the cut branches are barely visible. Look how much of the eucalypt you can see in this photo compared to the second photo in this blogpost!

Before we began on the area in the foreground of this photo, the ToH infestation was like that in the mid-distance!
