Robert Vennell

The meaning of trees

Join bestselling author, ecologist and natural science curator Robert Vennell for an information-filled walking tour. Visit a significant area of local native bush, as you learn about the history and uses of New Zealand’s different plant species, explore the science and ecology of our native forest, and discover how our plants have been used over the centuries for medicine, tools and food.

Robert Vennell is the author of the bestselling The Meaning of Trees: The history and use of New Zealand’s native plants, and Secrets of the Sea: The story of New Zealand’s native sea creatures. His most recent book, The Forgotten Forest: in search of the lost plants and fungi of Aotearoa, takes the reader on a journey to uncover the hidden and overlooked species of the forest, and to explore our native mushrooms, mosses and moulds. In his day job Robert works as a curator at Tāmaki Paenga Hira, Auckland War Memorial Museum, where he is part of the team developing new natural science galleries.

Take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to view our native bush up close with the expert guidance of one of our foremost natural history communicators.
