Preventing the spread of wilding pines

Biosecurity New Zealand

A lot of mahi is going on to remove wilding pines around Te Taitokerau Northland. Where today you may see trees turning brown, in future these landscapes will be restored.

This is thanks to huge efforts around the region by Iwi Trusts, community groups, volunteers and workers, in coordination with Northland Regional Council. It's all part of the National Wilding Conifer Control Programme. If you have questions about wilding pines locally, talk to Northland Regional Council or visit the website.

To learn about the removal of wildings from Taharoa Domain and why we need to prevent the spread, visit wildingpines.nz
