Online training - How to protect New Zealand taonga, kauri trees
Join this kauri protection online training. FREE for Kaipātiki Local Board residents.
Kauri dieback disease is a serious problem in New Zealand. On this training, you will learn more about the problem and what we can do to stop this plague from spreading.
This is a combined training that has 2 sections:
1) The kauri care for homeowners section will be done first. We recommend anyone with kauri on their property to join in, or if you are simply interested in understanding the disease and maintaining the health and safety of our precious taonga.
2) The kauri dieback certification section of the workshop focuses on upskilling volunteers to safely continue to work in areas with kauri. The certification will allow you to enter the reserve in the case of kauri dieback closures.
Sponsored by the Auckland Council Kauri Dieback team.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
