Testimonial from client:
“Wild Matters was engaged in 2016-17 to collate the current knowledge of the management of opuntioid cacti throughout Australia and produce a national best practice management manual and associated products. The comprehensive process put in place to engage all stakeholders resulted in a high quality publication that has been valuable for everyone involved in managing cactus. Wild Matters were more than willing to be flexible and communicative throughout the contract and ensured that timelines were adhered to. I would recommend them for any similar contracts in the future.” Kay Bailey, Manager – Priority Weed Response, Invasive Species, DPIRD.
