W**d Symposium: Calotropis 🌿
Weeds are becoming a serious challenge across the Pilbara, with invasive species like Calotropis threatening native plants, landscapes, and livelihoods. This symposium brings together the people working on the front line of this issue and you’re invited to be part of the conversation.
Join scientists, land managers, Aboriginal groups, government and industry representatives for a day focused on shared knowledge, practical solutions and of course, coordinated action.
What you can expect:
🌿 Insights into how Calotropis is impacting the region
🌿 Examples of current control efforts
🌿 Practical, on-ground management strategies
🌿 A scientific perspective on biological controls
🌿 Discussions on protecting key environmental and cultural areas
🌿 Opportunities to connect and collaborate with others tackling the issue
Calotropis produces a toxic milky sap that can harm people and livestock and spreads rapidly once established, but early action makes control possible.
📅 Wednesday, 5 August 2026
⏰ 9am-4pm
📍 Lotteries West House, 7 Morse Court, Karratha
