Whakatane Kiwi Trust
Whakatane Kiwi Trust
The Whakatāne Kiwi Trust was set up in 2006 as a charitable trust to promote and protect kiwi in the Whakatāne area. Whakatāne Kiwi Trust is one of the partners in the Whakatāne Kiwi Project, alongside the Department of Conservation, the Bay of Plenty Regional Council, the Whakatāne District Council and Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa. We aim to promote the protection of kiwi and other indigenous species in the Whakatāne area, through advocacy, education and fundraising.
Our vision is Healthy Kiwi, Healthy Forest, Healthy Community. Our goal is to see a healthy forest and a thriving kiwi population in the Whakatāne District so that we can continue to hear kiwi calling for generations to come!
