About Dieback
How Does It Affect Me?
Dieback could be in your garden killing your roses, it could be in the bush around your holiday home near Dunsborough or a threat to your flower farm near Walpole. Phytophthora dieback could also be at your favourite picnic spot near the Mundaring Weir or in the bushland near your favourite fishing spot near Bremer Bay.
To successfully reduce the spread and impact of Phytophthora dieback we need the involvement of the community. Phytophthora dieback should be an important issue for home gardeners, landscapers, new home builders, off road vehicle enthusiasts & bushwalkers. In particular the public need to:
- ask for dieback-free materials such as soil, gravel, potting mix, mulch and plants;
- don't spread soil or mud around bushland; and
- observe signage in your local bushland reserve.
