Community conservation in action. Help us save Coromandel kiwi
WELCOME EDDY!! We're excited to welcome Eddy to ou WELCOME EDDY!! We're excited to welcome Eddy to our field team. Already he's launched into the work with as much enthusiasm and big smiles as our other newbie, Spike. Here's five quick questions with Eddy 👇 1. where did you grow up? Grew up in Pukerua Bay in Wellington, probably spent more days in the Tararuas than the school calendar knew about. 2. what draws you to working outside? I love being outside, the air is fresh and problems are further away, and most of them just need you to sort them out on your own 3. what other jobs have you done? I’ve been a builder, building consultant, fisherman and commercial diver, I spent a season on Rarotonga trapping rats to save the kakerori 4. what makes you stop and wonder when you're out in nature I love seeing the bush recover itself, it’s an absolute privilege to walk through a stand of Kauri saplings all reaching for the sky 5. what was the most surprising thing about the work? The most surprising thing about the work is the fact I’m enjoying it so much, I come out of the bush and say to Paul (Ops manager), “So, how much do I owe you again?” 💚Love it, thanks Eddy, we're so fortunate to have you join the team
WOW what a treat on the way to work this morning! WOW what a treat on the way to work this morning! Rare and endangered matuku-hūrepo hunting for kai in a roadside wetland near Waikawau. This is why it's so important to fence these small pastoral wetlands and let them regenerate. Australasian bittern are considered globally critical and it is breeding time, so good luck boomers!

Looking for something active and worthwhile to do Looking for something active and worthwhile to do that gets you out of weekend chores? Come join a kahili ginger bash! Great people, great mahi. A couple of hours weed control work followed by cake and coffee thanks to Driving Creek. Kahili ginger is an invasive weed that smothers out the native regrowth. We have been working on removing it from a river corridor behind Coromandel town and making a huge difference to the ngahere. Meet at Driving Creek Railway carpark 9am, Saturday 26 Sept, equipment supplied but please wear suitable protective gardening clothes and shoes you don't mind getting wet for a stream crossing. Keep an eye on our social media in case of weather changes or email info@meg.org.nz See you Saturday!
It's been a great start to Spring here in northern It's been a great start to Spring here in northern Coromandel with rare bird sightings! We saw our first kiwi after 8 years of living here and hearing them nearby all that time 😍 seen crossing the road 500m away from home. Two matuku-hūrepo/bittern were seen in the Waikawau wetland, possibly a courting couple, 🤎🤎, we heard pīpīwharauroa/shining cuckoo return from the Pacific islands, and after reports of kakariki the red crowned parakeet in Tuateawa, we saw one in Little Bay this morning. The kereru are doing their nuptial dives and the tūī are frisky 😀 Manu mania. Keep your eyes 👀 peeled everyone!! Thanks to @anna_sephton_ for her wonderful calendar to record our manu sightings.
