Visit NZ's ONLY Kōtuku, White Heron Nesting Colony!

Protect the White Heron
Imagine Aotearoa without the beloved Kōtuku ...
With just the one and only White Heron breeding ground in New Zealand, this is a very real possibility...
Donations go towards the vital predator control work we carry out in and around the Waitangiroto Nature Reserve, helping to preserve its treasured flora and fauna.
By contributing, you help ensure the continued return of the White Herons to their sole New Zealand breeding ground.
As Kaitiaki, we are dedicated to protecting this special Sanctuary and ensuring its ability to sustain future generations of nesting Kōtuku. We endeavour to provide visitors with the opportunity to enjoy, appreciate and learn about these iconic birds and their nesting environment for years to come.
Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference and is greatly appreciated.
