Investment in machinery to clear ‘scourge’ species a ‘game changer’, says National Parks and Wildlife Service
Killarney National Park is making significant progress in combating invasive rhododendron through the use of new machinery and targeted strategies. The NPWS has invested in specialized machinery to clear dense rhododendron growth, followed by herbicide treatment, replanting, and rewilding efforts. This new approach is considered a "game changer," allowing for the protection of native species and the park's overall biosphere.
