Kauri Rescue is a Charitable Trust supporting landowners, hapū/iwi and community to enhance kauri health on private land by education, advocacy and research testing of treatment tools.
The Kauri Rescue project otherwise known as Community Control of Kauri Dieback: Tiaki Kauri engages the public in refining citizen science tools for the treatment of Kauri Dieback Disease, which is decimating kauri forests in northern New Zealand. Working on private land the team supports landowners to treat and monitor the health of their own trees, assisted by our volunteer ambassadors when necessary. The team undertakes education, outreach and advocacy work and speakers are always available for bookings and community events. Kauri Rescue is currently funded by Auckland Council, the Ministry for Primary Industries Kauri Protection Programme and the Biological Heritage National Science Challenge Ngā Rākau Taketake: Saving Our Iconic Trees programme. Sponsors and donors are very welcome to support the project and increase our capacity to help more landowners.
If you or your company would like to sponsor the Kauri Rescue project please let us know by emailing [email protected] and one of our Trustees will contact you.
