In 2017 during the school holidays my family went to see Tane Mahuta. The reason why we wanted to see this Kauri tree was because of its history that we read on books.
It was a big and tall tree. It is also the oldest tree or kauri tree in New Zealand. It was also an interesting experience to see the native plants and trees, like Kauri trees, Ferns and other trees around Tane Mahuta. My family had enjoyed our trip over there and I remembered brushing off our shoes before went into the forest. This was because of the disease that destroyed Kauri trees in New Zealand. I think the disease is called Kauri dieback.
I really want to go back and see Tane Mahuta again. I want to see whether there is any change from the last time I visited Tane.
