Total control pest plants

Identifying Pest Plants

Greater Wellington will control any of these plants anywhere they are found across in the Wellington region as we want to get rid of them completely. 

Yes that's right - controlling them is free!

Our long-term goal is to get rid of them from the region and we need your help.

If you think you have seen any of these plants in the Wellington region please contact us and a Biosecurity officer will come around and identify it.
