The continued spread of asparagus weeds threatens Australia's biodiversity, including endangered coastal and forest ecosystems. The Asparagus Weeds Strategic Plan (2012-2017) is a national Plan developed under the Australian Weeds Strategy as part of the Weeds of National Significance initiative. This Plan provides a framework to prevent the spread and reduce the impacts of asparagus weeds. Nationally coordinated implementation of the Plan, in conjunction with all stakeholders nationally, will allow for better protection of priority assets by providing tools and information, identifying management priorities, and fostering partnerships that lead to more strategic, collaborative management.
