Asparagus Fern, Pittwater's worst weed, got another thrashing at Rocky Point Asparagus Fern Out Day recently when 55+ people attacked it at Rocky Point, near Elvina Bay. A joint effort of Pittwater Natural Heritage Association, NPWS, Pittwater Council, Church Point Ferries, Hawkesbury Nepean Catchment Management Authority and DATS Environmental Services plus volunteers from bushcare groups and friends made this a great day. We didn't quite give it the coup de grace here as we'd hoped, but we'll plan that for next year.
