Auckland Branch Event | Kauri dieback and Mrytle Rust

Join the Auckland Branch of EIANZ as they present a session on Kauri dieback and Mrytle rust: What ecology professionals need to know.

This session will be presented by Dr Nick Waipara, from the BioProtection Research Centre and Plant and Food Research (formerly the Principal Biosecurity Scientist at Auckland City Council).

Nick is one of New Zealand's experts on fungal and microbial diseases of forest trees. His presentation on Kauri dieback and Myrtle Rust will focus on their spread, threats to indigenous plants and forests and what we know about them from their spread overseas. He will also discuss on-going research into the management and control of Kauri dieback and Myrtle Rust.

Nick will also cover how we can identify these diseases and reporting and monitoring for them, lessons from Australia on what we can expect if Myrtle Rust becomes established in New Zealand.

This will be a very informative session and we hope to see many of you there.

Thanks to our event partner:
