Visit Kauri Rescue at the McCahon Kauri Project - August 6

Come and visit the Kauri Rescue stand at the MaCahon Kauri Project, on Sunday August 6 at the Titirangi War Memorial Hall. 

The McCahon Kauri Project is a collaborative project to both fund raise and regenerate kauri growth, six hundred disease free 'McCahon kauri' saplings will be available to purchase at a free Kauri Community Day on 6 August in Titirangi at the Titirangi War Memorial Hall. 

The saplings are available to order now directly from mccahon@mccahonhouse.org.nz or phone 09 817 6148. 

​If you don't have room for a tree in your backyard, you can be a sponsor and the tree will be provided to a suitable home and you will receive a commemorative numbered booklet about the project.
The trees are $50 each and in keeping with their legacy, they will be released as a 2017 limited edition. Each tree will be accompanied by a booklet, recording its unique edition number, along with information about its heritage, and how to plant and care for the sapling.

​Public discussion from 1:00pm - 2:30pm
The Kauri Community day also features talks by Dr Nick Waipara, Principal Biosecurity Advisor, Auckland Council and Kauri Rescue team member; Sarah Smuts-Kennedy, a former McCahon House artist-in-resident and biodynamic gardener; and Julia Waite, curator of Freedom & Structure, a painting show currently touring New Zealand which includes McCahon's French Bay and Kauri paintings
