The latest kauri monitoring and surveillance programme has begun in the Waitākere Ranges with teams setting out to understand how the disease is impacting individual trees and the wider kauri population.  Lisa Tolich, Auckland Council Team Manager- Kauri Dieback , says new remote sensing technology means that over the past few years, the council has been able to get a good estimate on how many individual kauri trees are in the ranges, and from that, draw a sample of trees to survey.

The programme is part of Auckland Council’s work under the Regional Pest Management Plan 2020-2030, aiming to prevent adverse effects from feral pigs on the island’s environment and economy, and to protect human health and taonga. Auckland Council Senior Conservation Advisor Deryn Dromgoole says the feral pig control programme has been undertaken strategically across Waiheke over the last four years and that council has worked closely with landowners to achieve results.
