Pods beware… DOMP Comp is back 

Our annual Destruction of Moth Plant Competition is here, and we need your help to hunt down pods before they spread!

Moth plant is one of our region’s worst invasive weeds, and every pod removed means fewer seeds spreading through our community.

Watch this video to learn how to safely remove moth plant pods, then grab your friends, whānau or classmates and get ready to join the competition. 

Awesome prizes up for grabs

Competition runs 4 April - 3 May 2026

Student and family teams welcome

Last year teams collection over 31,000 pods! Let’s see how many pods our community can collect this year
