Tutukaka Landcare Kiwi Release

Date/Time – 24/10/2018
6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Location: Taurawhata Lane, Tutukaka

Your next chance to meet wild kiwi up close before they are released is coming up on Wednesday October 24th on the Tutukaka Coast!

Tutukaka Landcare are releasing further Northland brown kiwi into their predator controlled area to boost the genetics of their growing population out on the coast. Come along to this free public event to learn more about Tutukaka Landcare and the work they are doing to bring back the birdsong. Accredited Kiwi Handlers Todd Hamilton and Cam McInnes will show the kiwi  before they are released into nearby burrows.

All welcome! Please wear sturdy footwear as this event is on farmland – and a jacket in case of  the wind and/or rain would also be a good idea!

If you’re heading northwards on the Tutukaka/Matapouri Bay Road, Taurawhata Lane is the first road on the right after the Tawapou Native Plant Nursery.

Any queries, please contact Mike Camm, the Tutukaka Landcare Coordinator or Ngaire Tyson, the Kiwi Coast Coordinator on 0274 250 249.
