Northland
Northland is one of the hot spots for community-led kiwi groups.
About 27 groups exist, and this site introduces six which receive money from BNZ Save the Kiwi Trust:
- Whangarei Heads Landcare Forum
- Friends of Matakohe-Limestone Island
- Bream Head Conservation Trust
- Mahinepua Mainland Island Project
- Whakaangi Landcare Trust
- Puketi Forest Trust
- New Zealand Kiwi Foundation
Waitemate North Landcare Trust is another key player in Northland that BNZ Save the Kiwi Trust supports via consultation and advice.
Kiwi species
These groups are working to help save the brown kiwi – specifically the form known as Northland brown kiwi.
Kiwi sanctuaries and mainland islands
Northland has one of the five kiwi sanctuaries managed by the Department of Conservation – near Whangarei.
It also has one of the Department’s six mainland islands – Trounson Kauri Park – where introduced pests are intensively managed to help protect Northland brown kiwi.
Seeing kiwi
In Northland, captive kiwi can be seen at the Nocturnal Park, Kaitaia, and at Whangarei Museum, Whangarei.
You may be able to see wild kiwi during a tour at Trounson Kauri Park or the Aroha Island Ecological Centre in Kerikeri. Or if you volunteer to help the local kiwi groups.

Cats may seem to sleep all day, but at night they can hunt and roam up to 20 kilometres from home. Keep your cat inside at night if you live close to kiwi.
