Interesting points from Tom Carlin at Scion on improving urban forests. Career development for arborists (and urban ecologists) is critical to get good outcomes #NZES2024

Craig Bishop at AUT presents data for 36 20x20 vegetation monitoring plots across urban Auckland forests. Since 2009, data shows no increase of exotics, and maybe increasing native species. Woolly nightshade, privet and climbing asparagus make top 3 pest plants 🌱 #NZES2024

Tom Carlin from Scion talks about bringing stakeholders together to find out the priorities of protecting our urban forests. The main challenges include lack of investment, political will and data (especially sharing data) 🌳 #NZES2024

‘Gateway Weeds’ can help mobilise the public and get them engaged in pest management - even if they are maybe too far gone for eradication. Like Moth Plants in Howick - Abi C #NZES2024

As one of those students, it was so great to see. Well deserved, I have lost count of the number of times I have mentioned Sandra’s positive influence on undergrad field trips (and for my field equipment management skills!) #NZES2024
So exciting to hear Sandra Anderson give her plenary talk at #NZES2024 - as last year’s winner of the society’s Ecology in Action award. She has supported & inspired so many students & researchers over the years- amazing talk!

What happens to land ownership if we allow the tide to come back to drained land? Do owners still own the land? Can the claim the carbon credits? This is currently not clear in legislation! - Phoebe Stewart-Sinclair #NZES2024

Is weed eradication possible? Should it even be the goal? It can be, but we need to target new species still in the lag phase - and take communities along for the journey with science @ecostanley.bsky.social #NZES2024

If people are more aware of species like pekapeka, they will more likely support government or council activities that does this mahi. Kerry encourages us to persist with engagement activities. Face to face is crucial - especially in surveys! #NZES2024 🦇
