Kauri Dieback Up-Date
A collaborative response team has been formed to work on the disease affecting kauri that was reported by the Network in August.The team includes MAF Biosecurity, DOC, ARC, Northland RC, Environment Waikato and Environment BOP. The team is charged with:
* assessing the risk;
* determining methods and their feasibility to limit the spread;
* collecting more information (e.g. how widestpread); and
* ensuring a coordinated response.
Simple precautions all can take are:
* keep to defined tracks;
* clean footwear before and after entering kauri forest areas;
* stay away from kauri roots.
