Are you confused about the new regulations concerning Auckland’s Trees?  Well you are not alone!

We are working to protect Auckland’s trees but we need your help.  We urge our members to attend upcoming meetings (such as the draft Long-term plan 2012-2022) and talk to local board members, councillors and MPs. Read more here.

Farewell to our beloved chair Sigrid Shayer.  

At this critical time for Auckland’s trees our devoted Chair Sigrid Shayer has passed away. Sigrid was such a positive, encouraging and hard working Chair. She steered the Board through many difficult issues for over eight years. Her passing is a disaster for Auckland’s urban forest. We miss her greatly, particularly at this time of the National Party’s major changes to the Resource Management Act, which demolished the general tree protection rules that The Tree Council had so successfully fought for some 15 years earlier!

Dear Sigrid, we will all miss your vast knowledge and local body experience, and your professional attitude to all that you did. We hope we can continue to follow into the future the path you have guided us along over the years of your chairmanship.

Thank you so very much Sigrid.
