Farewell, Dame Cath Tizard

Kauri 2000 pays a warm tribute to our Patron, Dame Cath Tizard who was our friend and mentor for 20 years. Dame Cath and our Founder, Cliff Heraud shared friendship and a keen sense of humour leaving us with many memories of laughter and happy occasions planting kauri at special places on the Coromandel. We will always be grateful for her unstinting support for our work over many years and we thank her for all she did for us . We extend our love and sympathy to Dame Cath’s family
