Te Ngahere’s methodologies are driven by efficiency, effectiveness, and our low toxicity policy. They are based on our staff’s extensive experience in the field and streamlined from completing a large number of projects over a considerable time frame.

Our approaches to weed control have evolved from the well-used categories of site-led and weed-led strategies that have been dominant within the industry for some time.

In particular the inherent complexities of multi-plant pest sites have been broken down into sub-classes based on application methods, herbicides used, correct timing, and the current restoration phase which the area is in. This approach uses a spatial polygon GIS format that allows a more targeted approach to the work programme and quantitative analysis to monitor and improve performance.

The sub-classes that Te Ngahere have developed provide structure to operations from initial weed control to forest protection. They also allow parks and operations to be quantified.
