Exclusion species Nassella tussock, Chilean needle grass, and Alligator weed
News from Greater Wellington Regional Council
Dangerous pests Nassella tussock, Chilean needle grass, and Alligator weed have yet to take hold in our region, and the council is urging the community to make use of its pest control services to help keep it that way.
Regional Councillor and Environment Chair Penny Gaylor says keeping these species out of the region is especially important because of the threat they pose to te taiao (the natural environment), and our way of life.
“These species in particular are a priority for us all year round, as they’re able to survive and spread throughout winter. We’re asking people to get familiar with what they look like, and keep an eye out when working or enjoying the outdoors.
