Invasion containment request referred to council Arborist

6 July Parks Auckland council Community Ranger advises Parks Arborist has been asked for approval for "poisoning of the tree", and that Resource Consent may take 6 weeks to come through.

It is assumed that the extent of the surrounding forest will be thoroughly surveyed for the presence of further trees, and live and rotting fallen wood, as the results will be needed prior to Resource consent for intervention, and for containment of all the trees and fallen wood.

In the meantime, a volunteer is attempting this as time and safety permit (steep muddy banks, dense weeds, possible unseen slippages/erosion, wet weather).
