Tutukaka Landcare Coalition Trust

Charitable Purposes and Misson

The Tutukaka Landcare Coalition Trust was established to:

1) Educate and inform the public about native birds and their habitats.

2) Provide public education programmes on safe, effective trapping of predators

(to encourage awareness of the benefits of a thriving, natural, bio diversity. In particular, to enable the survival and expansion of a remnant population of North Island Brown Kiwi present in the coastal forest, through the use of an interactive website and social marketing. Kiwi being the flag bearer for all our native flora and fauna.)

3) Establish and maintain a large scale trapping network to ensure our resident kiwi population is stable and increasing.

4) Enable the reintroduction of missing native species, like Pateke/Brown Teal, and encourage the restoration of forest remnants and wetlands that are their habitat.

Our guiding mission is to ensure the call of the kiwi is always heard on the Tutukaka Coast.
