Visit NZ's Only Kōtuku, White Heron Nesting Site
Help Safeguard the Future of the Kōtuku
Together, we can protect New Zealand's Only White Heron colony
Imagine Aotearoa without 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 protect the Kōtuku while also preserving its unique ancestral breeding ground.
By contributing, you help ensure the Kōtuku continues to return each spring to its sole New Zealand breeding ground.
As Kaitiaki, we are dedicated to protecting this special Sanctuary and ensuring it continues to sustain future generations of Kōtuku. We are equally committed to providing visitors with the opportunity to experience, 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.
If you'd like to support our conservation work with a donation, we'd love to hear from you
