Dr Janelle Ward is the biodiversity team leader at Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari, a wildlife vet, with interests in species translocations, wild bird rehabilitation, avian medicine, wildlife health and species conservation.

An evening for Karioi Project volunteers and Backyard Hub trappers. RSVP necessary.

Help us empty the bait stations across the wide network on Karioi. A one day blitz!

As the sun begins to dip below the horizon, we will gather above Ngāranui and with luck on our side, we’ll observe the ōi as they return to land for their breeding season.

❤️ This a special event for our current, active volunteers. ❤️

Limited spots available, RSVP is required through form herein.

Come and experience for yourself the New Zealand environment the way it used to be – an ancient, vibrant forest alive with native wildlife including many of New Zealand’s rarest and most endangered wildlife. Step through the pest-proof gate into another world where ancient New Zealand forest towers majestically above well-maintained walking tracks and the air is filled with birdsong.

There are a variety of hikes and bush walks around this eco-sanctuary, and on Wednesday 15 May, we will have the opportunity to partake in the Ancient Forest Guided Walk and learn about why this conservation project is so special.

Not everyone can head up Karioi with a backpack full of bait - but almost anyone can help pre-bag the toxins in preparation.

This work isn’t hard, but it is time-consuming -and many hands make light work of it! Bring your friends along because it’s also a great time to socialize while giving back to nature.

Let us know if you can make it - karioi.volunteer@arocha.org

Music and morning tea are provided.

Join us for a fun & physical day on some of Karioi’s less-travelled tracks. We’re looking for fit & strong volunteers to fill bait stations for a day (or two!). Home baking is guaranteed!
