Date/Time - 20/06/2019 - 09/07/2019 Kiwi Listening with Kaimamaku Landcare The monitoring method involves recording all kiwi calls heard over a 2 hour period on four nights. Special dates are chosen each year by the national Kiwi Recovery Group, to coincide with the darker phases of the moon, as kiwi are thought to call less during a full moon. Remember to send in your data to the Department of Conservation, Kiwi Coast or your local Kiwi Listening Coordinator! Good luck to all listeners! Keep warm and keep safe – always let someone know where you are listening and what time they should expect you home or hear you’ve made it back safely.
6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
