Mauri O Te Kauri

In October we have the opportunity to share a film about the plight of our iconic kauri by a local filmmaker, James Muir.

Weaving stories from Māori and Pakeha Scientists, mingling the concepts of cultures to show how they complement each other and shape our understanding of the environment, this film takes us on a journey through the Kauri lifecycle and exposes the imminent threat from the rampant disease that is wiping out the last remaining forest giants.

The film is followed by supper – a good opportunity to meet the branch committee members and to socialize with other attendees. The meeting is free open to all including non-members, although a small koha is appreciated to cover costs.

On the first Monday of each month (excluding January), including public holidays, we hold a public meeting at the Takapuna Senior Citizens’ Hall, The Strand—through the courtyard at the rear of the Takapuna Library - starting at 7:30pm.
