Rowi Project Blog

I was lucky enough to take a few days out of the office in Auckland lsat week to join the amazing group of kids on the Kiwi Forever programme.  I joined them for an egg rescue during the day, where we split into three groups. Each group was accompanied by a kiwi ranger, and went in search of kiwi eggs. Two of the three groups found a rowi egg, and transported them back to the incubators at Franz Josef where they were ‘candled’ to view the stages of development.

On Thursday the kids  presented (in groups) to members of the community about the significance of their week.   I was heartened to hear the messages that came through.   This is our next generation that will take up the reins on kiwi work and part of our role as a Trust is ensuring that we educate every New Zealander how they can help.

Presentation on the last day.
