Kauri played an important role in many aspects This resource kit is designed for teachers and of early Māori culture, shown by their inclusion in students of levels one to five. The activities in this creation mythology, rituals, war, art and everyday resource are designed to create awareness and life. To European pioneers, kauri provided an extend understanding of the threat to kauri trees industry for a growing population with wood from kauri dieback disease, the loss we face if kauri milled for timber, furniture and boat masts, and became extinct, and what we can do to protect gum for varnish. kauri.

Objectives A To increase awareness and understanding of: • the uniqueness of the New Zealand kauri Agathis australis • what kauri dieback disease is and how it is spread • how species become threatened • the implications of the loss of a species (the interconnectedness of forest ecosystems) B To create reflection and promote personal action to protect and sustain living kauri. KEEP KAURI STANDING 3 CE R U O HOW TO USE THIS RESOURCE ES R The resource is split into learning levels though you may wish to select and modify activities from other levels. A range of activities is suggested at each level. THE O Activities are split into three categories: N T 1 Pre-visit activities are designed to introduce concepts to students and provide minimum knowledge IO before visiting an area where kauri trees grow. 2 Field visit activities aim to encourage students to be observers in a forest, to get a sense of the interdependence of organisms in a kauri forest, and an awareness of their own responsibilities and DUCT capabilities as kaitiaki (guardians) of these forests. RO 3 Post-visit learning experiences may be used as pre or post-visit but are designed to promote reflection and personal action in the individual. INT Additional worksheets are included at the end of each learning level; suggested timing is included but may be modified. OPTIONAL EXTRAS: A copy of the DVD “Save Our Kauri Forests: Kia Toitu He Kauri” can be supplied on request via the kauri dieback website www.kauridieback.co.nz The Kauri Dieback Management Programme also has a number of kauri dieback experts you can call (leave a message with 0800 NZ KAURI).

The peat harvesting will be from several farmland sites in Far North. The processing plant will be located on land owned by the local Iwi Te Runanga o Ngai Takoto (Ngai Takoto)at Kaimaumau. RWHL have agreements with the farm owners and Ngai Takoto (at their Sweetwater property) for access to the resource. Ngai Takoto has agreed to provide land for the process plant at Kaimaumau property as part of their strategy to reclaim and derive income from their unproductive Kaimaumau land. The resin and wax project is seen integral to the Iwi’s plan to develop their land and has their full support. The project has significant economic benefits for the region. It will generate $60 million in export earnings when fully implemented and will provide full-time employment to 50 people of which 80%+ will be local hire.

Characterising the growth response and pathogenicity of Phytophthora agathidicida in soils from contrasting land-uses by Kai Lewis The genus Phytophthora (Oomycetes, Peronosporales, Pythiaceae) is responsible for several forest declines worldwide (i.e. jarrah dieback in Australia (P. cinnamomi) and sudden oak death in California and Europe (P. ramorum)). The recently described pathogen, P. agathidicida, is the causal agent of dieback in remnant stands of New Zealand kauri (Agathis australis), and poses a significant threat to the long-term survival of this iconic species. However, what is least understood are how key physicochemical parameters (e.g. soil pH and soil organic matter) influence growth and pathogenicity of P.

    Agathis macrophylla (Lindley) Masters Araucariaceae LOCAL NAMES English (pacific kauri); Fijian (da‘ua,dakua dina,makadri,makadre,takua makadre,dakua,dakua makadre) BOTANIC DESCRIPTION Agathis macrophylla is a tall tree typically to about 30–40 m tall, 3 m in bole diameter, with a broad canopy of up to 36 m diameter. Branches may be erect to horizontal and massive. Mature specimens have wide, spreading root systems whereas seedlings and young specimens have a vigorous taproot with one or more whorls of lateral roots. Leaves simple, entire, elliptic to lanceolate, leathery, and dark green, and shiny above and often glaucous below; about 7–15 cm long and 2–3.5 cm wide, with many close inconspicuous parallel veins. The leaves taper to a more or less pointed tip, rounded at the base, with the margins curved down at the edge. Petioles short, from almost sessile up to 5 mm long. Cones egg-shaped at the end of the first year, about 5 cm long, and 3 cm in diameter, more or less round at the end of the second year, 8–10 cm in diameter. Female cones much larger than males, globular, on thick woody stalks, green, slightly glaucous, turning brownish during ripening. Seeds brown, small, ovoid to globose, flattened, winged, and attached to a triangular cone scale about 2.5 cm across. BIOLOGY Pacific kauri is monoecious and produces cones instead of flowers. The first female cones begin to be produced at about 10 years old and take up to 2 years to mature (more often in 12-15 months).

Arnold, Engineering Experiment Station It is estimated that the annual sawdust pile of the world would be several times as large as the largest skyscraper of New 'York. The sawclust is only about one-fifth of the total waste from the lumber industry. It is estimated that 62 per cent of each tree cut for lumber is wasted. This includes the limbs, top, and stump as well as the waste at the mill. From the sawlogs alone the waste is approximately 49 per cent. Unbreakable dolls and dynamite are only two of the many products made fl-om wood flour which is made from sawdust and other wood wastes. In spite of the immense quantities of sawdust and other wood wastes produced in the United States, we are importing in the neighborhood of 12 million pounds of wood flour every year at a cost of about 90 thousand dollars.

    STATE OF THE WAITĀKERE RANGES HERITAGE AREA 2018 2 Topic: Indigenous terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems 2.1 What is included in this topic The ‘Ecosystems and Ecosystem Services’ topic in the 2013 Monitoring Report is referred to as the ‘Indigenous terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems’ topic in this report. This change reflects the reference in section 7(2) (a) of the Act to indigenous terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems as heritage features. Figure 1 above shows the relationship and content of the topics in the 2013 Monitoring Report with the topics in the 2018 report. This section reports on the state of indigenous terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems by assessing the health of key ecosystem features (such as vegetation, threatened species, protected areas, fauna and water quality) and the threats to them (such as kauri dieback, pest plants and animals and catchment activities). A new section has been included in this topic on water quality in coastal lagoons (within the heritage area) and beaches adjacent to the heritage area. 2.2 Key findings Relevant heritage features (section 7 of the Act): 2(a), (c), (d), (g) Summary – state of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems • An additional 98 hectares of ‘protected’ land has been added (either as regional park land, local reserve, or as covenanted land); 87 hectares of this land is dominated by indigenous vegetation and 34 hectares contains ecologically significant indigenous habitat. • The proportion of threatened animal and plant species with stable or increasing population sizes is likely to have increased between 2012 and 2017. • Key roosting sites of the long-tailed bat within the heritage area have been identified.
