About Swamp Kauri Going back in time, between 40,000 and 50,000 years ago, almost all Kauri trees in the North Island of New Zealand toppled over. It might be that the sea level increased dramatically due to an enormous global warming. Nature conserved the fallen logs perfectly under sediment and combined with a lack of oxygen. Nobody knows exactly what happened in that time and it will remain the secret of all those Kauri logs which are lying in the swamp up to now. With the beginning of the European colonisation a lot of the old living Kauri Trees were felled for boatbuilding, house building and a lot more. Today all old living Kauri Trees on Crown Land are protected. From Digging To Manufacturing Nowadays, very specialized companies dig out existing Swamp Kauri logs in Northland of New Zealand. To protect New Zealand's unique nature ressources digging companies needs to have a timber extraction permit from Landcorp Farming Limited, the official authority in NZ. See Also
