Team Building, Reporting weeds as first priority

We are a new team just finding our feet. If your'e interested in connecting with us we'd love to hear from you!

What we would like to do first is record as many weeds as we can to get a bit of a baseline of where we are at, record the collateral damage (those we simply cant ignore and have 'controlled').

Recording helps us to collect information we need to get funding, prioritise work and look back one day to measure what impact we have made and how the weeds are changing.

Come join us,

Getting Started...Our Dirty Dozen

We need all the help we can get here on the Tutukaka Coast to control the invasive weed species that threaten our beautiful coastline, communities, waterways and forests.

We've started with our Dirty Dozen:
Aristea (Aristea Eckloni)
Cape Ivy (Senecio angulatus)
Climbing Asparagus (a.scandens)
Contoneaster (c.laucophyllus, c.franchetii)
Wild /Kahli Ginger (hedychium gardnerianum)
Japanese Honey Suckle (Lonicera japonica)
Mothplant (Araujia hortorum)
Queen of the Night (Cestrum nocturnum)
Sweet Pea Shrub (Polygala myrtifolia)
Tobacco Weed (Solanum mauritianum)
Tree Privet (Ligustrum lucidum)
Wilding Pines/Conifer (pinus sp. ..)

Come join us to identify, report and control these weed species(along with any other suspects)!
