Volunteer
The time, expertise and energy of volunteers are important to help the BNZ Save the Kiwi Trust achieve its goals.
Some people donate their time to formal kiwi projects lead by the Department of Conservation and other agencies; others put energy into community-driven projects.
Volunteer opportunities
Each year the Department of Conservation runs a range of volunteer opportunities, some of which provide the opportunity to work with kiwi.
Volunteer opportunities are also available through the New Zealand Trust for Conservation Volunteers.
If you are a regular visitor to New Zealand’s back country areas, you could join the kiwi call scheme or learn how to recognise kiwi sign.
You can find out what other people in your community are up to.
Or, if you have wild kiwi living nearby, and they are not being managed, you may like to set up a community kiwi care group.
If you are a BNZ staff member and would like to use one of your two days of paid volunteer leave for kiwi, check out the opportunities above or check out the intranet.

Did You Know?
In 1906, a Scottish-born inventor developed a revolutionary new shoe polish. He called it Kiwi polish. It was used by the British and American armies during World War I, and soon New Zealand soldiers became ‘Kiwis’.
