The Canterbury Regional Pest Management Strategy provides the democratic process that determines what pests should be controlled to benefit the region as a whole.

Pests are introduced plants and animals that threaten our health, economy, Maori heritage, recreation, native plants, animals and habitats (biodiversity). Thirty-eight plants and nine animals are declared pests in the Strategy.
