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.

Kiwi Week and Kiwiathon 2010

The Whakatane Kiwi Trust had another successful Kiwi Week and Kiwiathon.  Thank you to all the volunteers who helped and attended the live auction at Radio 1XX on Sunday 1st August. 


We had a BBQ and announced the winner of the flights to Sydney - thanks Donella and everyone at Harvey World Travel.


Also thanks to Putauaki School who has been studying kiwi in class and turned up with an amazing poster of a kiwi that was covered in donations from their school.  Thanks Guys!!! 

They also stayed on and Guss our Avian Aversion Trainer showed them how training dogs to avoid kiwi can help the kiwi to survive.

We are still counting the donations - so watch this space to see how much we have raised.

Thanks everyone!!!!!
