A group of volunteers in Wellington are on a mission to rid the city of Old Man's Beard, a vine that smothers New Zealand native bush.
Following success in clearing it from several reserves, the group now plan to get rid of it from the suburb of Highbury, home to ecosanctuary Zealandia.
Nigel Charman from Old Man's Beard Free Wellington speaks to Jesse.
