What is the estimated funding required to eradicate, or control wilding conifers across New Zealand over the next ten years?
Answered by
Hon Andrew Hoggard

Answer
The level of funding required to control wilding conifers depends on the level of control sought. I am advised that various options for control were considered at a high level in the 2018 and 2022 Cost Benefit Analysis documents which have previously been published and are available on the Ministry for Primary Industries’ website.
