On a cold winter's evening a group of hardy Pāuatahanui residents braved the cold to attend our Pest Plant Workshop. With more riparian planting being undertaken along our local streams, the control of weeds and pest plants within the riparian areas has become a significant area of concern.
The presentation by Greater Wellington’s Biosecurity Officer – Pest Plants, Pravneel Kumar, was most informative, addressing the different pest plants found in Pāuatahanui and the best methods of control for each. Attendees had brought along samples of many of the weeds / pest plants which was a useful addition to the presentation. Pravneel kindly shared his presentation and accompanying Methods of Control spreadsheet https://pauatahanui.org.nz/Pest%20Plant%20Workshop
