Unfortunately access to much of the surrounding area where I live is being restricted due to Kauri dieback, a disease that kills indigenous trees. Several of the waterfalls I have photographed in the past have no access to them now. I was lucky to experience them.
Yes it’s a shame so many tracks are closed. My guy feeling is that it is unfortunately too late. I hope I’m proved wrong in feeling this way. This image is great and even more meaningful since there is no public access anymore.
@kali66 Probably not - There are still many people who are using the tracks despite the requests to stop. It is a shame. @dide Thankfully this one is still open. It is not much of a walk though. Gutted that so much is now out of bounds. I think it is too late as well.
Trees deseases are a mystery to me. Over the last years we had palm trees dying of a kind of bug devouring them from inside. Thousands and thousands of them. And then a parasite that caused a severe destruction of millenary olive trees in Puglia. A pity. But maybe nothing caused by people.
