2. It is an offence to remove plants or Christmas tree
   material (branches, etc.) out of the "infected area", if these
   are of exotic pine, Douglas fir, or larch species and have
   not been treated as specified by an authorised forest officer.

3. The "infected area" is now generally the whole of
   the North Island excluding the Kaitaia Borough and the
   Mangonui and Great Barrier Counties. In the South Island
   the "infected area" is all that land in Nelson and the
   Marlborough Sounds to the west of the Wairoa Valley and
   the Westland Land District north of Harihari. Movement
   within the "infected area" is authorised with the exception
   that untreated exotic pine, Douglas fir, and larch material
   may not be moved from the areas listed in paragraph 2 (c)
   of the declaration (which is generally the large area lying
   between Auckland City and Wellington City and the area
   east of the main ranges between Wairoa and Takapau) into
   other parts of the "infected area".

4. Inquiries should be addressed to the nearest Conservator
   of Forests.
