A little history of SWRDC

• The group was established in 1991. • During the first 10 years the group was active the scale of the weed problem overwhelmed the resources available. Work activity was restricted to several key locations with the aim of preventing any further loss of biodiversity. When the fires of Christmas 2001 burnt most of the northern portion of Hat Head National Park an opportunity to gain control of weeds over much of the coastal strip from the Smoky Cape Lighthouse to South West Rocks township was recognised.
