What are management units?
Management units are the administrative boundaries the country has been divided into for the National Wilding Conifer Control Programme. Management units define where our operations can take place, and as such, our activities and operational areas must fit entirely within a single management unit.
Management units are represented as polygons with a magenta border.

How do I define the boundaries and attributes of a management unit?
Management units are defined by MPI and rarely changed. Infrequent changes may occur to correct boundaries and new management units may be added with each round of funding allocation. Users should contact their regional champion to raise any issues with management units.
