- Grow kauri plants/trees
- Have kauri on your property
- Own farm animals/stock that graze in or near a kauri forest

If you have a ready-made small group, we can schedule an hour to suit you, at a cost of $90 for the group.
Otherwise, email or message us your availability and interests, and we will see what can be organised.
From requests we have had so far, the focus for a tour could be
- efficient and effective control and eradication of environmental weeds without chemicals, especially kikuyu (beyond the mown area, which is controlled by mowing)
- free wild native groundcovers and leafy shrubs
- how to recognise the free native tree seedlings which pop up in your garden or restoration site
Our website has some information and photos of all these, with more to come.
