IMPORTANT MESSAGE – KAURI DIEBACK DISEASE

We are very privileged to have access to some wonderful tracks through some amazing native bush around the Breamhead Scenic Reserve. We also want to keep the bush that way!! The Kauri Dieback Disease is thought to be a soil-borne species that basically rot’s Kauri trees, and kills them. No good at all! So please ALL follow these steps below, and if you have been running or driving in area’s known to have the disease (most areas of native bush) please be extra vigilant when washing your shoes, and bike tyres!

Make sure shoes, bikes, and equipment are clean of dirt before and after visiting kauri forest.

Clean shoes, bikes, and any other equipment that comes into contact with soil after every visit, especially if moving between bush areas.

Keep to defined park tracks at all times. Any movement of soil around the roots of a tree has the potential to spread the disease.

Check out www.kauridieback.co.nz for more information on how you can help stop the spread.
