Bushland Friendly Nursery Scheme This is a scheme initiated by the North Coast Weed Advisory Committee (NCWAC) and funded by the NSW EPA Environmental Trust. Seventeen Councils from Tweed to Taree have agreed to exclude the use of environmental weeds in new developments and their own landscaping. They will also promote participating nurseries who will encourage the public to plant local native alternatives and help stop the spread of destructive weeds.
