SUMMARY:Moth Plant Competition - Ōrākei Local Board Schools
DESCRIPTION:Join Ōrākei School’s Mothplant Competition for 2026 to help remove this invasive pest plant! For the past six years\, this competition has rallied students from schools across the Ōrākei Local Board area to protect their community by removing the invasive mothplant pods and vines. And they have won some awesome prizes for their efforts! \nWe have $2\,400 prizes up for grabs for teams collecting pods and vines\, along with spot prizes for special categories! \nMothplants are a serious threat to our native biodiversity. They are poisonous to humans and can cause skin irritation in some individuals due to the plant’s milky sap. They can produce a large number of viable seeds and travel via wind. They can survive tough conditions\, including drought\, damp\, wind\, and salt. They can sit dormant in various soil types! You will usually find them along forest margins\, walking tracks and even railway line fences. \nRegistrations for teams start from Wednesday 11th March and end on Wednesday\, 25th March\, while the competition will run from Thursday\, 26th March to Wednesday\, 6th of May (midnight). \nTo enter\, you and your team members must attend a school in the Ōrākei Local Board area. \nThis competition requires participants to agree to the Terms and Conditions of Entry\, along\nwith the Health and Safety guidelines. Students are encouraged to participate during daylights hours. \nPlease read through them before registering your teams\nTerms and Conditions: https://tinyurl.com/3cpruxwt\nHealth and Safety Guidelines: https://tinyurl.com/mw6dataa
