On October 21st, 2024, the Pest Free Howick Ward (PFHW) team successfully organized a Community Engagement Workshop at Murvale Park, Bucklands Beach. The event focused on raising awareness about pest plants and their control, and we were thrilled to have Dr. Ben Zhang join us as a guest speaker. Dr. Zhang provided valuable guidance to local community volunteers on how to identify and manage pest plants effectively.
A special thanks to the Howick Local Board, and Anna Baine, the Community Park Ranger from Auckland Council for their support in making this workshop possible.
During the workshop, Nigel Zhang gave a brief introduction on how to find more information on our website and the Auckland Council’s site. He also demonstrated how to report pest plant locations through our online platform and explained how to join our volunteering halos.
Our next workshop is scheduled for November 4th in Flat Bush, and we look forward to seeing even more community participation as we continue working together for a pest-free environment!
