THE battle against the menace that is sweet pittosporum is an ongoing on, which recently received a little help.

A local group, the South West Woody Weeds Action Team, has been at the forefront of the fight against the highly-invasive weed – as well as the equally-annoying Italian buckthorn and boneseed – that has taken over roadsides and recently received a $1000 community grant from Glenelg Shire Council to further its eradication efforts.
