I've noticed the willows have been cleaned up crossing over the Yass River on
the highway too (Barton not Federal!).  I've been waiting for that for ages.
Wonder how far along the river they're goin?  I reckon it would've been an
awesome river, still could be.

Why do they have to bulldoze? Usually they just poison the stumps don't they?

On Friday afternoon there was a road killed platypus in that area so ripping
out the willows may effect burrowing animals as well as birds.

I have noticed this week that bulldozers are busy clearing all the vegetation
along the road-side of Molonglo Reach. I realise that its mostly willows and
other exotics but what effect will this have on Darter/Cormorant nesting?
