Project and community contributions
Collecting project information
When you create or join a project on Weedmanger.NZ you will need to provide some or all of the below information:
- Project name, description, geographic boundaries and contact information.
- Precise locations of weeds, work areas, and other features.
- Detailed weed management records (control records and checks).
Collectively, this is known as “project information”.
Disclosing project information
Detailed project information (including, weed names, precise locations, notes, photos and “recorded by” fields) is private to project groups and will never be sold or rented.
Project administrators and editors can see precise locations and records for all weeds and features within their project(s).
Project members can see precise locations and records for all weeds and features which they have been assigned to.
By default:
- We publicly display project names, descriptions, geographic boundaries and contact details on weedmanager.nz.
- We publicly share summarised project data at a 200m x 200m (4 hectare) grid level. This includes total counts of the weed species identified and controlled. Summarisation does not reveal any personal information or the precise location of any weeds.
Both of these defaults can be changed at any time by project administrators.
