Here, Sofia Billi attacks a stand of privet in Newton Reserve. His Free the Tree team takes a military approach to weed control. I hang them up outside my front door,” says Margesson. The root is moth plant and it’s three fingers thick, representing about 8–10 years of growth. A crew member brandishes a root curled into a wreath. This morning in Newton Reserve, the crew have already tackled a gnarly moth plant infestation. Margesson and his crew of eight are contracted to focus on six species: moth plant, woolly nightshade, evergreen buckthorn, climbing asparagus and two types of ginger. On Waiheke, a weed hotspot, the battle is in full swing. Four hundred or so are managed as weeds at a cost of $1 billion annually. Most of these interlopers started out growing in our gardens. Around 1800 of these exotics have gone rogue, establishing a foothold in the wild-their numbers swell by about 20 new plants every year. Humans have introduced a further 25,000-30,000 plants from overseas-some inadvertently, but many on purpose. To put this in context: New Zealand is home to around 2300 native plants.

Margesson, a Brit nicknamed Mad Major, has spent the past few years bringing his military skills and tactics to a new battle here on Waiheke. He’s a Bear Grylls character, an army veteran decked out in khaki. The roped-up assassin returns to the safety of flat ground. It takes a good half-hour, but the mission is successful. His objective is to free about 50 native seedlings from the clutches of a mortal enemy. But Margesson has no time for sightseeing. Cicadas thrum, the sun beats on the grassy cliff overlooking the boats of Oneroa Bay. Sweat drips down Richard Margesson’s brow as he rappels down the slope.
