Our helpful friends from Council’s Mahurangi East Land Restoration Project, as part of their Healthy Waters programme, have provided residents with an opportunity to plant areas of their properties to prevent run-off into the harbour. During their scoping of properties, they’ve summarised here a list of plant pests prevalent on our peninsular, together with eradication procedures. These pests spread rapidly, so you’ll be helping both yourselves and your neighbours by being vigilant.
For a wider summary of plant pests found in the Auckland area, or if a dubious looking plant is not listed above, then take a look at Council’s website here
