The workshops will feature veteran bush regenerator and former Environmental Trust director, Peter Dixon, who will share his knowledge of privet ecology, as well as bush regeneration strategies and efficient hand techniques for removing the weed.
Karuah Great Lakes Landcare coordinator Joel Dunn said the plant was a biodiversity threat that posed a real threat in some parts of the region.
