Current Events - Kauri Dieback

Kauri Dieback is a disease caused by the Phytophtora agathidicida which affects the native New Zealand tree, Kauri.

In Warkworth they are trying to prevent kauri dieback from reaching into their kauri park and killing their kauri trees by building a new boardwalk and new cleaning stations but they are still concerned about the disease reaching their park.

I think that they are doing the right thing by trying to prevent the disease from reaching their park because it is a community kauri park and if the kauri trees are diagnosed with this disease and they are dead then that would defeat the whole purpose of the park.
