Long grass - prepare your properties
An exceptional season has resulted in greater than normal growth of grass around the Yass Valley.
Like everyone on their mowers at the moment, Council crews are busy trying to keep up the mowing schedule on Council maintained land so that the growth remains under control.
Long grass poses multiple hazards, including somewhere for snakes to hide and a bushfire threat when the grass begins to dry out over summer.
Residents should start preparing their properties – both rural and residential – for the bushfire season. This includes:
Keeping lawns short and gardens well maintained. Cutting back trees and shrubs overhanging buildings. Cleaning up fallen leaves, twigs, and debris around the property. For more information, please visit https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/
