Dirty Dozen has done its dash

The 2016 and 2017 Dirty Dozen competitions were a great success in raising awareness of plant pests, and this iNaturalist NZ project provided an ideal way for people to join the competition through posting their observations of the 13 (baker's dozen) weed species targeted.

DOC are not currently promoting the Dirty Dozen initiative, but their War on Weeds work remains alive and well. We will keep this project running, as it may still be of interest. Here are links to some past publicity:

• DOC media release: War on Weeds Dirty Dozen 2016 revealed
• Department of Conservation blog: DOC’s ‘most wanted’ weeds
• Stuff: Wanted - Dirty Dozen weed bounty closing soon
• Kiwi Conservation Club: The Dirty (Baker’s) Dozen
