Webinar: The Future of Chemical Bracken Control.
The webinar provided the key parties with an opportunity to discuss the issues surrounding chemical control of bracken. Other delegates listened to the discussion and provided written questions.
The latest version draft Bracken Control Review provided a baseline for the discussion, and avoided the need to present information that was already available during the webinar.
