Becoming a Volunteer

When you are a volunteer with Forest & Bird, you are able to help make a wide variety or projects work out. Examples of projects that Forest & Bird's Manawatu Branch has undertaken have included (but are certainly not limited to!)

Is There Something For The Kids?

Yes, there is! The Kiwi Conservation Club is a Forest & Bird project created to help children learn about conservation and why it is important.

The Kiwi Conservation Club is mostly aimed at primary-school-aged children. Activities include potting up and planting out in a local piece of bush, learning about birds, bugs, and fish, zoo trips and lots more!

The Kiwi Conservation Club meets regularly and enjoys a local newsletter as well as a national magazine crammed full of great learning tools for kids.

If you are interested in the Kiwi Conservation Club, please contact us at forestbirdmanawatu@gmail.com.
