Kiwi Coast Network

Helping kiwi to return or flourish is the goal of many Northland projects. However, groups are often also involved in a multitude of other activities such as 'bringing back the birdsong', improving forest health, weed control, kauri dieback prevention, reintroductions of threatened species, wetland restoration, monitoring special species... and it's all connected.

Groups & Projects

Over 270 entities are now linked in to the Kiwi Coast network across Northland. This includes community-led projects, hapū and iwi, forest management companies, government agencies, organisations, farmers and schools.

Collective Area

Stretching across 291km of Northland, approximately 285,000 hectares are now collectively under active conservation stewardship and sustained pest control. Check out our online map of all the groups and projects involved and a little about what they do...

Focus Projects

Kiwi Coast Trust also supports two key strategic projects: the Kiwi Link kiwi corridor in eastern Whangarei, and the Pest Free Purerua Mataroa Project in the Bay of Islands.

Kiwi Link

Kiwi Link involves 12 groups working together over 15,000ha to bridge the gap between the Whangarei Heads and Tutukaka kiwi strongholds. Together we are creating NZ's first kiwi corridor.

Pest Free Purerua - Mataroa

Purerua is home to the highest density of kiwi on the planet! The goal of Pest Free Purerua - Mataroa is to eliminate introduced pests so native flora and fauna can thrive on the peninsula.
