If it takes a village to raise a child what does it take to raise a kiwi?

An interested community – action on the ground – from pest control, monitoring, maintaining infrastructure, planning, publicizing and admin, to the plethora of red tape and bureaucracy necessary to allow safe and successful work on private and public land.
Local effort is the backbone of this project and many locals are active on the ground. Working together is rewarding and inspiring especially with such positive results

Action on the ground relies on a wide range of support;

Backyard Kiwi ‘Proud Supporters’ annual contributions help with traps, monitoring, kiwi releases, and community connection. Interest and enthusiasm from our Proud Supporters  give a boost to project and we welcome anyone interested in getting involved.

A number of regional and national agencies  assist Backyard Kiwi, sharing expertise and information giving consistent backing to all the local effort.

Backyard kiwi wish to wholeheartedly thank everyone involved for your ongoing support and we look forward to sharing more  experiences and stories with you over the coming year
