Last night was the official launch of the "Save Our Kauri Forests: Kia Toitu He Kauri" documentary.
A good crowd turned out for the film screening at the council chambers in the Auckland Town Hall last night. This 20-minute documentary is now available to view online - just click here.
Following the film, the group discussed ways to improve awareness of the kauri dieback issue and increase community involvement. Some great ideas were brought up including suggestions on ways to improve management on parks and our awareness campaigns.
There are opportunities for members of the public to help with the maintenance of boot cleaning stations on parks, join a team of advocates to help 'spread the word' and improve compliance at the cleaning stations. Last night, there was also support for the formation of a 'friends of kauri' group. Watch this space for more updates.
