TGS has entered a competition to collect as many moth pods as we can.  There is a $500 prize which the school would use for resources.

Moth plants are a pest to our environment as they multiply very quickly and strangle everything in their path; including native plants, trees and even fences and buildings.

The pods form in summer and can contain up to 700 seeds which are parachute – like, so therefore spread far and wide, (up to 30kms) throughout our parks, gardens and bush.

This poster designed by Kahu student Chelsea explains the details about the competition.
