Profile
The Society Totally Against Moth Plant is very much active, so please join us as well. We focus on moth plant removal, including the mapping of all locations seen / visited / extracted. Our mapping has tracked twelve years of progress. We now have 30,000 sites mapped, but we know there are more. The more people out there informing us of locations, the more we can get people in our group to help in their removal.
We are a Facebook group of 4000 members https://www.facebook.com/groups/societytotallyagainstmothplant who share success stories and organise weeding meet-ups. We need more extractors - people who are keen to get a bit grubby and to meet the public at their front door.
If you don’t want to be an “extractor” we would be happy for you to contact us through this email address [Enable JavaScript to view protected content] to tell us where you have seen it. Be specific with the address and/or gps co-ordinates.
STAMP is now a group within Econet. www.Econet.nz administers a map covering all weed types, and they also take information on weeds logged through iNaturalistNZ.
STAMP are always looking for satellite groups. We currently have associates in MVP Whangarei, STAMP out moth plant Kerikeri, HB STAMP Hawkes Bay.
Moth plant grows in warmer moist areas, and our main infestations are Hawkes Bay, Bay of Plenty, Auckland and Northland (although reports of other locations exist).
