Kauri Dieback Public Meeting
The Kauri Dieback Programme invites you to a public meeting about the National Pest Management Plan for kauri. This plan will set out rules under the Biosecurity Act 1993 for more consistent and effective management of kauri dieback disease nationally. We want your input to ensure we’ve got the right plan to protect kauri into the future.

Why are we asking you to get involved?
We think you have an interest in strengthening protection for kauri. And protecting kauri requires a collective effort.
We received lots of excellent ideas and feedback for the future management of kauri dieback disease in the first consultation round. But we need you to tell us if we’re on the right track and have reflected these ideas in the refreshed strategy and the National Pest Management Plan. We’d also like you to tell us what you think of our ideas for the management agency (the organisation) that will implement the plan.
How to get involved
The second round of consultation is open from 20 August to 10 September 2018. If you can’t make a public meeting, or even if you do, you can still make a submission. The information we want your feedback on will be live on our website on 20 August 2018, when the consultation is open. We’ll let you know when it’s ready.
For more information about the consultations this year and to download a poster promoting them that you can share, visitwww.kauridieback.co.nz/consultation. You can also email us at KauriConsultation@mpi.govt.nz if you have any questions.

I encourage you to share this scholarship with your networks and any tertiary student that has a connection to the Coromandel area, and currently studying natural resource management-related programmes – this scholarship is based at the Whitianga office and will be working with the Coromandel DOC staff over summer periods. Arthur was passionate about conservation and supporting young people’s learning about it.
