Charles Darwin University TAFE has trained a group of First Nations employees from Rirratijingu Aboriginal Corporation (RAC) to target the removal and management of Coffee Bush weed (leucaena leucocephala) in remote East Arnhem Land.
Coffee Bush is recognised as a significant environmental weed across the Northern Territory that displaces native plants and reduces biodiversity as it is fast growing and forms dense thickets.
Currently, Coffee Bush is not declared a weed in the Northern Territory or at a national level.
If left unmanaged the weed can threaten the health of local native species and water health.
