Hear the call of the Whakatane Kiwi

Whakarongo mai ra ki te tangi o te kiwi o Whakatane


Kiwi hold a special place in the Hearts of New Zealanders. Help them to thrive and prosper.

In the Whakatane District, kiwi are literally in our backyard. We have the unique opportunity to be able to walk off the pavement into the bush and be in kiwi territory. Without active management to support breeding and minimise predators, kiwi will eventually disappear from the Whakatane Distict. Whakatane Kiwi need your help.

Special Naming Ceremony for the Environment Bay of Plenty Councillors

Thursday 22nd April saw a naming ceremony for one of our young kiwi chick.  This was especially for the councillors of Environment Bay of Plenty who have supported the Whakatane Kiwi Project and Trust greatly over the years.

The kiwi is named Toitehuatahi and will be released into the Ohope Scenic Reserve with a transmitter, for Bridget to track him.  It is hopeful he will become a future breeding male.
