Community participation
Help shape a resource grounded in observation, local experience, and care.
Participation can begin with a clear observation, a useful question, or a carefully documented example of stewardship. The internal team is developing a public contact and contribution process.
What makes a contribution useful
- Describe the place and context without publishing private locations or sensitive cultural sites.
- Separate what you directly observed from what you think caused it.
- Include dates, photographs you have permission to share, and relevant source documents.
- For a practice, identify who taught it, the permission to describe it, and its limits.
- For a treatment result, include the method, comparison, follow-up period, and any unsuccessful outcomes.
Protect knowledge and people
Contributors should decide what is public, what requires attribution, and what should remain within their community. Do not share personal contact details, sacred-site locations, or another person’s unpublished research without permission.
Share a pest observation
Use our on-site reporting form to send a suspected invasive-species observation to the internal team. Reports help inform community records and responses. If your contact preference allows follow-up, the team may contact you for more information; no response time or treatment is promised.
The report form separately asks for permission to use a generalized observation in public maps or summaries. Names, contact details and precise locations are not published. Reports are not automatically forwarded to government.
