Whakatāne Kiwi Trust Education Programme

The Whakatāne Kiwi Trust Education Programme provides a fantastic opportunity for young learners to:

-      learn about kiwi and other native forest species

-      discover how incredibly unique New Zealand's flora and fauna is

-      gain insight into many of the conservation challenges in Aotearoa

-      Learn about one of the local conservation projects that is making a difference in the community

-      Immerse themselves in nature, discovering the sights and sounds of Ōhope Scenic Reserve through an interactive outdoor field trip featuring nature-based games, activities, and challenges.

Our programmes cater to all age groups, from preschool to secondary school! This is a science-based programme focused on our efforts to protect our native taonga - the kiwi and to encourage engagement in biodiversity and environmental conservation.

 At all programme levels, we emphasize taupuhipuhi (interconnectedness & interdependence) and kaitiakitanga, fostering a positive contribution to conservation efforts in Aotearoa.

We can customise our educational programmes to meet the specific needs of students or classes. Additionally, we are flexible in adapting our sessions, offering options for classroom visits or shorter programmes.

For more details or to schedule a class/school visit, please reach out to us at education@whakatanekiwi.org.nz and be sure to download our brochures for full programme guidelines

Together let's inspire our tamariki to become lifelong kaitiaki of Aotearoa!
