Save Kiwi Month
1-31 October 2015
Kiwis need our help. Unmanaged kiwi populations are estimated to be declining at a rate of 2% per annum. Without management we lose around 27 kiwi each week.
To keep them alive for future generations, we need to act now.
Save Kiwi Month starts on 1 October and the inaugural national fundraising initiative, the Great Kiwi Morning Tea is being held on Friday 16 October.
You can do your bit to help our precious kiwi. Just get together with family, friends, colleagues, neighbours or complete strangers and hold a classic Kiwi morning tea. Splurge on Kiwi classics like lamingtons, caramel slice, sausage rolls, lolly cake, and asparagus rolls and ask your guests to make a donation towards saving our national treasure. Just $100 is enough to save one kiwi by controlling predators across its habitat for an entire year.
Visit www.kiwisforkiwi.org and click on the Great Kiwi Morning Tea icon to register and receive your pack which contains instructions for a successful event, sample invite, promotional materials, recipes and a fun Kiwi Quiz.
Register now and put the date in your diary.
