Dun Mountain Heath, Gorse and Wilding Pines survey and control programme

Nelson City Council, as part of their Nelson Nature programme, engaged Kaitiaki o Ngahere Ltd in 2017 to survey over 800ha in the ultramafic belt above Nelson looking for pest plant species, primarily heath, gorse and wilding pines. Following this a comprehensive report was prepared that now informs the ongoing pest plant control works in the area. Currently we do annual control at a number of sites and pest plant populations are significantly reduced as the plan is implemented.
