Summary
An artist in Alice Springs is turning invasive buffel grass into art to spotlight its ecological devastation—this aggressive weed, once introduced for grazing and erosion control, now threatens native bush tucker, ancient trees, and cultural heritage across Australia. Western Arrernte artist Carita Coultard’s striking exhibition, made from the very grass that’s choking out native species, opens at the Olive Pink Botanic Gardens, urging urgent action. Volunteers are already removing the grass to protect vulnerable ecosystems, while federal officials weigh whether to classify it as a weed of national significance—a decision that could reshape how Australia tackles this dual-threat plant, valued by farmers yet destructive to biodiversity and safety.
