Belmont Volunteer Weeding Event – Grab a Gladi Day 2023

Each year the Belmont Environment team get together to locate and remove the invasive Pink Gladiolus (Gladi) weed from the natural bushland areas. We’re on the lookout for volunteers to get involved and help us remove the flowering Gladi weed from Signal Hill Bushland!

You’ll have the opportunity to safely explore and learn about the bushland, while helping to protect it one Gladi at a time. Morning tea will be provided to keep your energy up.

Volunteer spots are limited – so get in quick!

What is Pink Gladiolus?

The Gladioli have very pretty pink flowers, but looks can be deceiving ! This South African weed was introduced to Perth via household gardens.

It can reproduce in two ways, via seed and by corms (bulb-like roots). This makes this weed highly invasive in our natural areas because it takes up vital nutrients, space, and light for our native species.

All Grab a Gladi Day participants will need to complete the Volunteer Registration Questionnaire included in their Eventbrite ticket registration.

Children under the age of 16 years need to be supervised by a parent/guardian.
