New Zealand Biosecurity Awards are open!

Biosecurity New Zealand

It takes all of us to protect what we've got but there are a few champions worth celebrating – could this be you?

These Awards recognise and celebrate outstanding contributions to protecting our country – in our communities, businesses, on-farm, on-orchard, iwi and hapū, government, in the bush and in our backyards.

If you, an organisation or someone you know is putting in the hard yards to protect New Zealand against pests and diseases, it’s time to shine a light on their achievements.

*Entries open until 24 July.
