This artwork is a celebration of the iconic landscape of West Auckland, The Waitakere Ranges. The work is situated on a large wall adjacent to the bike lane in New Lynn. The central focus is on the Kauri tree and the native flora it supports. Ferns, Kowhai, Pohutukawa, Flax and Waitakere Manuka flowers. The 22,400 kauri trees that make up the ranges are the life force of Auckland. Kauri are not only an integral part of Maori culture and faith, but a keystone species and an ecosystem engineer. They modify the soil under their canopy to create unique plant communities who depend entirely on them. Kauri Dieback has more than doubled in 5 years. People are the biggest cause of soil disturbance in the Waitākere Ranges and can transport the disease around the forest on their feet. The assemblage of plants in a New Zealand forest is unique, there is nothing else like it on earth. If we all take care of the Great Forest of Tiriwa, in return we will all flourish.
