Kauri are among the largest and longest-lived trees on Earth, and their story runs through New Zealand's history: Māori who honoured them, the gum diggers and bushmen who made a living from them, and the people working today to stop kauri dieback.
Kauri NZ brings that story together in one place: galleries built from public collections, stories researched from official sources, a directory of the makers and places that keep kauri craft and knowledge alive, and a small shop of ebooks.
The site is operated by 0 Digital, Aotearoa New Zealand. Kauri NZ is independent. It is not affiliated with The Kauri Museum, Matakohe, the Department of Conservation or any iwi. Where kauri holds cultural significance for Māori, we link to iwi-led and official sources rather than telling those stories ourselves.
