Trees are all around us, yet many of us will be hard pushed to identify a tree just based on its leaf. So we’re putting your knowledge to the test!
Take this quiz to find out how many native trees you can identify from just a single leaf.

Keep our kauri standing
Kauri dieback in Auckland is a serious problem and it’s important we all play our part to prevent the spread of the disease.
If you enter or leave a forest/area with native trees anywhere in the region, here are three easy steps you need to remember:
- Scrub – clean all soil off your footwear and other gear
- Spray – your footwear and gear at every cleaning station you encounter. Kauri dieback can be spread by just a pinhead of soil
- Stay – on the designated open tracks.
