Setting up an alert
Set up an alert with your own settings to be notified when matching weed records are published.
You can set up more than one alert, each with a different mix of weed types and places. For example, you might set up separate alerts for:
- new or uncommon weeds recorded anywhere in the South Island
- any species on the New Zealand list of environmental weeds recorded in the Wellington suburbs of Brooklyn and Newtown
- species managed under exclusion or eradication programmes in the Canterbury Regional Pest Management Plan, when they are recorded in neighbouring Otago
- a specific weed species (for example, moth plant) when it is recorded in the Whangārei district, or within 1 km of the district boundary
You can set up as many alerts as you like. If you want different types of alert, create a separate alert for each one. Each alert sends its own notification when matching weed records are published.
The next pages show you how to choose weed categories or species, choose places, and apply advanced settings.
