Preventing the spread of wilding pines
A lot of mahi is going on to remove wilding pines around Taupo's special landscapes. Where today you may see trees turning brown, in future these landscapes will be restored.
This is thanks to huge efforts around the region, involving Iwi Trusts, community groups, volunteers and workers, in coordination with Waikato Regional Council. It's all part of the National Wilding Conifer Control Programme.
If you have questions about wilding pines locally, talk to Waikato Regional Council. To learn about the removal of wildings around Orakei Korako and why we need to prevent the spread, visit wildingpines.nz
