A student’s research project at the Bio-Protection Research Centre has shown that an indigenous New Zealand fungus may help to control the growth of ecologically damaging Wilding pines.
News and Editorial Director Jemima Huston spoke to student Genevieve Early about her research into the indigenous fungus Armillaria novae-zelandiae and its impact on Wilding pines. They discuss the importance of restoring ecosystems, including iwi in the ongoing research and the novelty of using a native solution to an invasive species.
