  • Canterbury Regional Pest Management Strategy (2005-2015) Operational Plan for 2007-08

    ECan's planned pest and biosecurity activities are outlined in the Operational Plan.  Highlights include the official launch of the Banks Peninsula Community Initiative Programme (CIP) for possum control.  The Banks Peninsula community is now rated for possum control, with a contribution from ECan in recognition of its high biodiversity values.  A Heads of Agreement between the Department of Conservation, Land Information New Zealand, Federated Farmers and ECan has recently been signed.  Signatories will now work more closely together to undertake wilding conifer control in the South Island High Country.

  • Canterbury Regional Pest Management Strategy (2005-2015) Operational Plan 2006-07
    Environment Canterbury faces a number of new pest management challenges this year, as well as the re-emergence of old challenges. One of the most significant recent developments has been the commitment by the Banks Peninsula Liaison committee and the wider community towards a coordinated possum control programme that builds on the gains made by the recently completed bovine Tb vector control programme. The Banks Peninsula Community Initiative Programme for possum control was adopted by Environment Canterbury, and is included in this year's operational plan.

  • Regional Pest Management Strategy 2005-15
    The Canterbury Regional Pest Management Strategy is reviewed every five years and provides the democratic process that determines what pests should be controlled to benefit the region as a whole. Pests are introduced plants and animals that threaten our health, economy, Maori heritage, recreation, native plants, animals and habitats (biodiversity). Thirty eight plants and nine animals are declared pests in the Strategy.
