A group of Mount Albert-based activists are blaming a lack of trees for Auckland flood damage.  Honour the Maunga aims to keep the 345 exotic trees in Mount Albert in place while slowly growing native trees around the area.  Honour the Maunga spokesperson Anna Radford says there have been dozens of slips in the region after the Auckland floods hit and they all fell on tree-less areas. Anna Radford says some slips were stopped from growing wider or falling further downhill by the same exotic trees the Tūpuna Maunga Authority wants to remove.
