Ōtanewainuku volunteers work hard to ensure long term survival and sustainability of rare and endangered North Island Brown Kiwi and kōkako
Bay of Plenty
When the forest flourishes the people flourish.
Ōtanewainuku is a wonderful recreation space using its walking tracks including the short loop walk, the mountain top lookout walk and waterfall hike. The forest is family oriented with a visitor information shelter, toilets and car park. This directly promotes healthy, physically active communities.
More about us
When the forest flourishes, the people flourish.
Ōtanewainuku is home to many types of native bird, including the kōkako, North Island brown kiwi, robin, whitehead and tomtit. Ōtanewainuku Forest is a great place for recreation using its walking tracks including the short loop walk, the mountain top lookout walk & waterfall hike. The forest is family oriented with a visitor information shelter, toilets, & car park - with security provided by a volunteer roster on weekends. This directly promotes healthy, physically active communities. Dogs are banned as they can kill kiwi, even on a leash.

No work in the forest during lockdown 25 August 2021
Sadly for the native birds but good for the safety of our volunteers, we're unable to do any forest work at Otanewainuku during Level 4 lockdown. As soon as we can, we will be back up there checking on the health of the kiwi and other native species there. In the meantime, you can find out more about us on our website https://kiwitrust.org/
