MCC BIG March weeding event

The Motueka Catchment Collective’s Pest Management Group are continuing their fight against Old Mans Beard…

Sunday, 16 March, 2025 @ 9:30 am - 1:00 pm

The Motueka Catchment Collective’s Pest Management Group are continuing their fight against Old Mans Beard which is taking over in the Motueka Valley & needs to be stopped! This is all the more urgent at the moment as there was a huge flowering this year leaving many seeds ready to fly.

The MCC will be holding 2 Big Weeding Events on Sundays 16 March & 13 April where locals & volunteers will be picking up their secateurs & bottles of gel weedkiller to continue their work removing this pest from native trees at Haycocks Bush, 2094 Motueka River Westbank Road.

You are invited to come along and join in from 9.30am, all tools & a picnic lunch will be provided.

Volunteers attending on March 16th will receive a free bottle of weed control gel to take home & use on their own properties.

Trapping animal pests like rats, possums, stoats & controlling plant pests which smother the trees has a direct effect on the health of our native birds, bush & river.

Come & join the Motueka Catchment Collective in making a difference to our taonga species and our beautiful awa – be a part of the change you wish to see!

If you don’t fancy doing the actual weeding work but would like to volunteer any other skills/time, they’d love to hear from you. Contact support@motuekacatchment.co.nz for information and to register for these events.
