Help protect our kauri Kauri

-

dieback in Auckland is a serious problem and it’s important we all play our part to prevent the spread of the disease.

If you enter or leave a forest or area with native trees anywhere across the region, here are three easy steps you need to remember:

Scrub – clean all soil off your footwear and gear. Kauri dieback can be spread by just a pinhead of soil.

Spray – your footwear and gear with disinfecta­nt at every cleaning station you encounter.

Stay – on open tracks and off kauri roots.

Always check the Auckland Council kauri webpage before going for a walk to find out what tracks are currently closed.
