Together, we can battle this thorny menace
The worst impacts of mesquite are seen when individual plants are allowed to reproduce and cause dense monocultures of thorny thickets. Mesquite has a negative impact on production systems, biodiversity, environment and tourism, whilst also impacting on Indigenous and European heritage sites. Our projects aim to reclaim the natural landscape and protect the assets we currently have, to ensure the long-term stability of the natural resource base.
