Abstract
<p>On the basis that it is desirable to consider the risks associated with legal innovations, this article examines the implementation challenges of a landholder duty of care to the environment. This is a recent importation of the duty of care concept into the management of a complex challenge, the control of invasive species. The management of invasive species is an issue of environmental and economic significance where prior laws have been insufficiently effective to meet public policy goals. This article finishes with observations about implementation effectiveness and considers what might be needed to systematically address the implementation risk of duty-based instruments.</p>
