Forest & Bird Hibiscus Coast

From the Whangaparaoa Peninsula, south to Redvale, west to Waitoki, and north to Puhoi, the Hibiscus Coast Branch includes an exciting diversity of habitats. This includes suburbs, beaches, estuaries, farmland, lifestyle blocks, small remnants of the original forest and some regenerating bush reserves. Everyone involved in our branch is a volunteer, including committee members, trappers and supporters.

We are currently working to get rid of predators on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula and the surrounding area. To protect local birds, we are getting rid of the introduced predators like stoats, possums, and rats that prey on adults, chicks, and their nests and destroy the plants they feed on. It’s an ambitious goal but is more achievable than you might think!

Kiwi Conservation Club

Kiwi Conservation Club  (KCC) is the junior branch of Forest & Bird and takes young conservationists on exciting outings throughout the year. Our previous trips have included visiting Goat Island Marine Reserve, listening for kiwi at Tawharanui, a guided bush walk at Wenderholm, a dotterel experience at Waiwera, an introduction to recycling, and more.  Emma is the Hibiscus Coast Branch KCC leader.
