Because pest plants and animals can cause problems on a large scale, a coordinated community effort always is best.
But you can still do your share as an individual. Our animal and plant field officers are here to help anyone willing to have a go.
You can start reducing the threat by:
Increasing your awareness
Weeds and pest animals have varying invasiveness and impact. An interesting slant is that many highest risk species aren't the most common, because their threat is related to their potential to spread, rather than their present distribution.
Coordinate your efforts
Coordinating your efforts. Pests know no property boundaries. Our coordinated programs work to put them in their place.
Use best practice
Using best practice. Inadequate or inappropriate control methods can even have the opposite effect - the pest population can grow! Use our facts sheets or consult our field officers for the right stuff.
Integrate control methods
Integrating control methods. Integrated control, using two or more methods together or in succession, often is better than over-reliance on one method. For long term success, land managers should have all the choices at their fingertips.
