Two high school students from Howick College came to Cockle Bay to talk to Room 18 and Room 5 about moth plant. Moth plant is an introduced plant, meaning that it is not a native to New Zealand. It is a vine that grows wherever it can, and entangles itself around the branches of trees and kills other native plants as they compete for the sun.
Ryan and Marco showed us how moth plants wraps its tendrils around trunks and branches by using themselves as tree models. They also showed us how to eradicate moth plant by pulling young plants out by the roots or by cutting vines and pulling them out of branches. They also showed us the safe way to use secateurs to cut and vines, and protect ourselves with old clothes and garden gloves.
