- National Pest Plant Accord
-
The National Pest Plant Accord identifies pest plants that are prohibited from sale and commercial propagation and distribution across New Zealand.
The Accord came into effect on 1 October 2001 and is an agreement between regional councils and government departments with biosecurity responsibilities. It provides a consistent approach to managing pest plants across the country. In 2006 the Accord was revised to include the Nursery and Garden Industry Association as a member of the decision-making body. Under the Accord, regional councils undertake surveillance to ensure the pest plants are not being sold, propagated or distributed.
The Department of Conservation also lists 328 vascular plant species as environmental weeds - species that infest, are controlled on, or are damaging to land under its control.[1]
