Help Protect The White Herons

Imagine Aotearoa without the presence of the beloved Kōtuku

With only one White Heron nesting site in all New Zealand, this is a very real possibility.

Donations go towards the vital predator control work carried out in and around the Waitangiroto Nature Reserve, helping to safeguard the Kōtuku while also preserving its ancestral breeding ground.

​By contributing, you help ensure the continued return of the White Herons to their sole New Zealand nesting site and home.

As Kaitiaki, we are dedicated to protecting this special Sanctuary and maintaining 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 natural nesting environment for years to come.

​​

​​​​​​​Every donation, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference and is greatly appreciated.
