The valley that fed a city

location TBC
Jessie Munro (Author, Voices of Belonging)

Clevedon and the Wairoa Valley contain one of Auckland's most complete rural heritage stories, spanning indigenous cultivation through colonial settlement and the river-based food trade that established Clevedon village. Author Jessie Munro delivers a 30-minute presentation exploring how the Wairoa river valley supplied a growing city, followed by heritage morning tea and access to the McNicol Homestead museum.

Participants can walk the new Clevedon Village Heritage Trail, a self-guided 6km route connecting 19 heritage sites through a village built around food production.
