October:
- 8th October: Cleared all of Site 1. (Collected only 185 plants)
- 8th October: Cleared Sites 3,6 and the top edge of 4 and 5. (78 plants)
- 25th October: Haven't checked since I've been away. Hoping the frost killed the remaining stragglers. May check tomorrow if it doesn't rain, else that's it for this year. Still intend to update the map of site 1 to show the area of the flood plain that was cleared.
