Overview

This Sanctuary is a non-profit organization located in the cloud-forest of Tutamoe Peak in Northland, New Zealand. The area is home to the endangered kiwi bird and the rare giant kauri snail. Locals and volunteers are working together to protect this lush forest and restore it to its natural splendor. The organization is built on sustainable principles and it is totally off-grid with most of the structures and tools having been recycled from other projects. Working with the Department of Conservation, volunteers protect and monitor wildlife in several forests, create access trails, protect native species from invasive rats, possums, and stoats, plant native trees, monitor pest numbers, and help create an environment that will continue to be home to the endangered Kiwi and Kokako birds.

This project not only gives you a chance to actively restore protected natural ecosystems, but it also creates an inspiring experience for all involved.
