You are warmly invited to the next Environmental Weed Coalition e-meeting 


The War on Weeds - how to work better together?

Managing the Silent Invasion


with Simon Upton, Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment 
5pm on Wednesday 17 April 2024





More about this meeting:


  • At the 17 April meeting, the Commissioner will answer questions from EWC members on ways to improve collaboration with volunteers and community groups;  EWC members have been invited to suggest questions about 

  • What community-led groups, volunteers and the public at large can bring to weed management across Aotearoa New Zealand, and 

  • How we can optimise collaboration between these groups and government and council agencies                                   



If you haven’t heard about the Environmental Weed Coalition, here’s a summary:


  • We are a coalition of community weeding groups and other weed management stakeholders throughout Aotearoa New Zealand who are concerned about the impact of environmental weeds on our native biodiversity and the ecological health of our environment.

  • We work with Weedbusters and other official agencies to develop improved collaboration across the weed sector and to encourage research and sharing ideas on improved strategies and techniques to control invasive weeds.

  • We encourage all groups with an interest in weed control to sign up to receive our news letters - this will allow us to better advocate on behalf of conservation and weeding groups to government and other agencies.

  • Please click here to sign up for this and future EWC e-meetings 

  • Please sign up two days before the meeting so you receive the link 

  • EWC has no subscription fees.

  • It aims to provide a platform for the sharing of ideas and information
