To join the hunt and be in to win!
Sign up to iNaturalist and join the Chilean mayten Hunt project here: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/canterbury-chilean-mayten-huntl
As a way of saying thanks for helping us to form a picture of where Chilean mayten is in Canterbury, we have up to $500-worth of spot prize giveaways!
In addition, the Environment Canterbury Biosecurity 'Eagle eye' Shield will be awarded to the individual with the most confirmed Chilean mayten sightings in Canterbury during August, September and October 2019.
Every confirmed Chilean mayten sighting recorded on iNaturalist (with good photos and location) and located in the Canterbury region is one entry into the spot prize draw. A NEW confirmed Chilean mayten location within Canterbury is worth 3 entries!
Spot prizes include petrol vouchers and Weedbuster merchandise.
Details:
• The draw will occur on Wednesday 6 November
• There is no restriction on who can enter.
• A “new” sighting is defined as one not currently recorded on iNaturalist in Canterbury New Zealand by anyone else.
• Should a tie occur then new records will have a higher rating.
• The judge’s decision is final.
Good luck and get spotting!
