About this Event

Join the Henderson-Massey Moth Plant Competition, a fun, family-friendly competition that is all about getting rid of moth plant in your neighbourhood, happening from Saturday 15 March to Saturday 3 May 2025.

Moth plant is a highly invasive pest plant which threatens and smothers our native biodiversity. Each pod contains up to a thousand seeds, which can germinate in established forest and streamside plantings a long way from the seed source. Then it gets right into the canopy and smothers and kills plants, preventing the establishment of natives.

There are over $1000 worth of prizes for teams collecting pods and removing vines, and individuals designing posters.

To enter, you or at least one of your team members has to live, work or go to school in the Henderson-Massey Local Board area. Find out more and register at www.ecomatters.org.nz/mothplantcomp
