Councillor Phoenix Ruka

E kī ana te kōrero “Ko ahau te Taiao, ko te Taiao ko ahau” Kua roa te wā e manaakitia e te Waonui o Tāne ia mātou, na e tika ana kia whakahokia te manaaki ki a ia anō. ❤️❤️❤️

A H Reed Memorial Park has just been formally closed for kauri protection.

Phytophthora agathidicida has been found in the reserve, the pathogen which causes kauri dieback. The reserve will be temporarily closed while further testing can be undertaken.

This urgent action has been undertaken in partnership with hapū, Northland Regional Council and Whangarei District Council.

Thank you for your help in protecting our kauri, please do not enter A H Reed Memorial Park until the rahui has been lifted.

Kia mataara whānau, keep safe, dry and warm. 🫶🏾🫶🏾
