The Great Weeds Hunt Aotearoa

Weeds Banner

‘The Great Weeds Hunt Aotearoa’ provides students, whanau and communities free tools to find and identify weeds, with access to weed and biocontrol experts in New Zealand.

In 2018–2019 we visited schools in Auckland and Canterbury. Schools from three regions were visited in 2016 – Auckland, Gisborne and Westland – as part of the related ‘Winning the War against Weeds’ programme.

We do not currently have funding to visit schools in 2020.
