PEST PLANT CONTROL OVER WATER: Stay informed about our control operations, here.
Pest plants threaten our region’s native plants, for example, in our forests and wetlands. Many are also a nuisance to farmers, in suburban gardens and may cause health problems in some people. It’s important we control pest plants and stop them from spreading.
Biosecurity officer Hamish Hodgson talks about pest plants in urban Hamilton, and a scheme to encourage home owners to manage them.
