Now that we’ve removed all the pest animals from the Shakespear Open Sanctuary the pest plants are recovering just as quickly as the natives, so SOSSI does indeed have a weedbusting team working in the sanctuary.
We have also been running a series of advertisements in the local paper to encourage residents to do their bit along the Whangaparaoa peninsula. We have a target weed each month and post more details on our website www.sossi.org.nz with a link to your weedbuster site.
Our hit list for the ads has been as follows : moth plant, boneseed, woolly nightshade, pampas, climbing asparagus, ginger, rhamnus, phoenix, banana passionfruit, monkey-apple, loquat.
