Since 2005 Friends of Venus Bay Peninsula have been working to control a Weed of National Significance (WoNS) threatening coastal vegetation at Venus Bay.

 

Bridal Creeper Asparagus asparagoides has invaded dense coastal bush land on private properties, public reserves and roadsides at Venus Bay. Approximately 40 hectares of Coast Banksia Woodland and Coast Tussocky Grasslands are threatened by this difficult to control environmental weed.
