"Nature's best" at Waitangi celebration
6 February 2012
More than 25,000 people attended the recent Waitangi Day celebrations this year. Department of Conservation Bay of Islands Area Office joined forces with the Waitangi Trust and put on a display called "Nature's Best!"
Part of that display was a section on Kauri Dieback - complete
with live (uninfected kauri rickers grown from seed by the Kerikeri
Shadehouse Volunteers), boardwalk over kauri roots and a "clean
your boots here" station. The display generated a lot of interest
amongst the local residents and visiting public from other
parts of New Zealand and overseas.
