Give kauri space to grow
To preserve kauri for generations to come, we need to give them space to grow. That’s why 10 rules have been introduced as part of a National Plan to protect kauri from the pathogen that causes kauri dieback disease.
You will need to follow the rules for protecting kauri if you:
- Go into a kauri forest area
- Grow kauri plants/trees
- Have kauri on your property
- Own farm animals/stock that graze in or near a kauri forest
Together we can protect kauri. Find out what you can do
