LDR Wairarapa: dog detective sniffing out invasive plants

From First Up, 5:36 am on 28 January 2021

We're all too aware that the news can be a bit too Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch focused, so this year we're incredibly grateful to have access to the marvellous Local Democracy Reporting programme to bring us news from the regions. The free public-interest news service is dedicated to strengthening coverage of local authorities and issues affecting rural and small-town New Zealand. This morning we're hearing from LDR's Wairarapa reporter Marcus Anselm, Nathan Rarere asked him about news of a visit from a special plant sniffing dog detective.
