Project De-Vine is funded by DoC, Councils and many other environmental grants and sponsored by Cut’n’Paste and others. The Old Man’s Beard trunk was so huge, and had so many shoots, that the vines needed to be pasted on both sides of the vines as they were rerooted up above on the rock cliffs. Photos of Aurora and other participants at work on the vines. Cut’n’Paste has a long-term association with Project De-Vine through Chris Rowse the founder.
