This paper examines whether a community-based approach to the biological control (biocontrol) of Bridal Creeper Asparagus asparagoides L. Druce can be effective in reducing the impact of the weed. Bridal Creeper is a serious threat to native vegetation on Victoria's Bellarine Peninsula. In many situations, such as occurs at Buckley Park Foreshore Reserve, Bridal Creeper can be difficult to control without serious off-target damage. Implementing the biocontrol of Bridal Creeper is therefore seen as a priority. A model for a community-based biocontrol program was adopted on the Peninsula to facilitate the spread and impact of biocontrol agents. The program has required a close collaboration between researchers, land managers, and community groups, including local schools. As a result of the program biocontrol agents have been released at 46 sites on the Bellarine peninsula. Two agents in particular are now spreading and causing visible damage to bridal creeper infestations. The program has demonstrated the important role biocontrol can play in the integrated management of a widespread environmental weed, and provides a strong basis for future collaboration at a local level in weed management issues.
