Above: A kauri tree planting
day was held recently at Tinopai
School, as part of the Kauri
Museum’s planting programme.
Nearly 80 trees have been planted
at six sites. The Museum, in
Matakohe, Northland, is one of
several organisations educating
people about kauri dieback and
how we can keep the remaining
trees disease-free. For more
information, see
