SUMMARY:Aotea Kauri Survey - Community Info Session
DESCRIPTION:Aotea kauri survey to begin in Summer 2025/2026 \nA community meeting will be held at the Claris Conference Centre to discuss this project on Wednesday\, November 26\, at 5:00 p.m. \nA survey of kauri health will soon begin on Aotea\, Great Barrier Island\, to determine the extent of both\nthe soil-borne pathogen Phytophthora agathidicida\, the causal agent of kauri dieback disease\, and\nsymptomatic kauri. \nPhytophthora agathidicida was first detected on Aotea in 1972 and is current distribution on the island\nis patchy. It is not known to be present in the Northern area of Te Paparahi. DOC has conducted various\ntree health assessments and soil testing over the years. In 2020\, the Auckland Council conducted aerial\nsurveillance from helicopters\, followed by ground-truthing. \nThe survey is being done in partnership with the Department of Conservation (DOC) and Ngāti Rehua\nNgātiwai Ki Aotea Trust. It will include the forested area of Aotea\, encompassing Auckland Council\,\nPublic Conservation Land\, and contiguous private properties\, who will be contacted directly soon.\nTo understand kauri health at a population level across Aotea\, this project will combine mapping of the\nkauri population from aerial imagery and data from field surveys. Recent learnings from the 2021\nWaitākere Survey and 2024 Hūnua Survey will be used to inform the survey design. \nRandomly selected kauri totaling 540 will be surveyed for their health and have soil samples collected\nfor laboratory analysis. The random selection of 540 trees will give us a baseline prevalence of tree\nhealth and pathogen presence or absence at a landscape scale. This will create a cohort of monitored\ntrees that can be consistently re-measured to understand change in tree health. \nThis survey will inform future management decisions in kauri forests on Aotea\, protecting them for\nfuture generations.

SUMMARY:Garden Tour 2025
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Aotea Great Barrier Island Garden Tour Adventure\nIn 2025\, the Totara\, Kauri\, Rewa and Nikau Garden Tours will be on Saturday Welcome to the Aotea Great Barrier Island Garden Tour Adventure \nIn 2025\, the Totara\, Kauri\, Rewa and Nikau Garden Tours will be on Saturday 29th of November. \nBookings are open!  Check out the details here  \nThis is a unique opportunity to view a variety of residential gardens on the Island. The guided tours will enable you to visit charming cottage gardens\, to see spectacular coastal panoramas and experience the hidden native flora and birdlife. The ticket includes tour transportation\, a scrumptious Morning Tea and a charming Devonshire Afternoon Tea. \nThe Garden Tour is a major fundraiser for the Great Barrier Island Community Health Trust\, enabling it to purchase equipment for use on the Island. The event involves many 100’s of hours of community volunteer time and energy and the participant feedback has been outstanding. It has become a very popular event\, national and international celebrities who have participated in the past tours\, quote that it is ‘a must-do event’ for every keen adventurous gardener. \nOur Guest Speaker in 2024 Jules Moore comments: \nIt was supposed to be a chance to share my experience as a gardener\, landscaper and horticulturist for over 4 decades. Culminating in achieving a gold medal at the Singapore International Garden show in 2024.Instead\, I was introduced to the resilience of your community\, the mana of respect your community has for its bountiful nature. You harness the natural resources around you to enrich your physical and mental health. You really garden from the heart. Each garden encapsulated the soul of the gardener. \nI came away with such an appreciation for the ethos you all work within. Each person I spoke to had a personal story to tell and the garden was at the heart of it. Gardening is good for the soul and your community is made up of so many beautiful souls that on reflection I came away wishing I was a part of your community.

SUMMARY:Bird Aversion Training for Dogs - Free
DESCRIPTION:Bird Aversion Training provided by Auckland Council \nFriday 3rd April (Easter Friday) \nBird Aversion Training is taking place on Aotea Friday 3rd April (Easter Friday) in Okiwi\, Okupu\, Medlands and Tryphena. Bird Aversion Training can minimise the threat of dogs injuring or killing native birds.
