Help us hunt down hornwort

The great hunt for hornwort

If you think you might have hornwort in a home aquarium or pond, you’re not in trouble — in fact, you will be helping us. Take a picture, record the location, and report sightings to us on 0800 324 636 or via reportpests.nz.

If it turns out to be hornwort, we will organise its removal and you’ll go in the draw to win a prize pack to put towards your pond/aquarium.

Hornwort was successfully eradicated from the South Island back in 2013. With these latest reports, it’s important we all do our part to protect Canterbury’s waterways for the future.
