Willow Warriors have mapped willows along the Barrington River between Cobark River junction and Barrington township. There we very few invasive willows between Cobark and Rocky Crossing and little evidence of them spreading. Between rocky Crossing and Barrrington there is a significant number of St Johns Willows (a crack / weeping hybrid) there are very few crack willows in the region and so the risk of the hybrid producing seed is low and there was no evidence of a seeding event.
Photos from the Friends of the Colo and Willow Warriors Monitoring Activities along the Colo River. The Willows out of Wollemi Project that has removed the invasive willows (Black Willows and Crack Willows) in the Colo Catchment is managed by Friends of the Colo and willow warriors volunteers often help with monitoring tasks along the river. particularly outside the National Park in the Wolgan Valley and Colo Valley. 
Willow Warriors are mapping willows by taxa along the Eucumbene River as part of the Willows out of out Rivers project. We are also monitoring the river for black willows generally and treating all willows found on NPWS Estate.
illow Warriors have a willow control project on the Goobarragandra River which monitors the river for black willows and other seeding hybrids. The project will also treat Crack Willows on a few specific properties over the period 2008-2010 to protect the habitat of the Booroolong Frog and Tumut Grevillea

Willow Warriors have two projects on the Hawkesbury River. The first is to treat and monitor the river below Yarramundi for Black Willows and the second is a bush regeneration project on Clarks Island
The Macdonald Valley Association has a very active River Rescue Project dealing with a number or riparian issues. Willow Warriors are assisting this project by monitoring the MacDonald River and floodplain wetlands for Black willows after the inital control program which ran between 2001 and 2008. With the help of students from MacMasters Beach SLSC, Pacific Hills Christian School, Arden Anglican School, Ardell Anglican School, Marion and Abottsleigh the numbers of black willows found during monitoring activities have substatially reduced from 813 in 2008to 326 in 2009 and 155 in 2010.
