Look out for Koro kiwi in Coromandel Town tomorrow morning. It is Save the Kiwi week and he thought he would drop by as the people of Coromandel have wonderfully supported Moehau Environment Group in helping keep his kind multiplying .

We're thrilled to introduce our new Communications

The whau are flowering 🌼😃 One of Aotearoa's unique botanic treasures, it was a delight to see it flowering. This unusual tree species is unlike any other in NZ with big, broad leaves and prickly seed capsules. It grows to about 10 m high and only lives for about 10 years.

Moth plant alert! Many, many thanks to Jamie and Cheyenne from @docgovtnz for coming to check out a possible moth plant sighting in our children's forest today. Eeek, it is moth plant and we're so pleased the DOC team are ready and able to stop it strangling our planted kōwhai and search for the source plant. Some of these plantings are over 15 years old. Moth plant is a problem because it climbs to the top of native trees and smothers them, weighing them down and spreading quickly over large areas. Getting to them before they set seed in summer and autumn is so important. 🙏🙏#weeds #childrensforest #weedcontrol #protectingplants

Another fantastic fungi find by our fantastic fiel

Another fantastic fungi find by our fantastic field team! Thanks Peri Mawson for taking a moment to notice this velvet earthstar in the leaf litter last autumn. Velvet earthstar fungi release their spores from the central hole when it rains. Anyone else think it looks like an eyeball?? #mondayfungi #MEGapestattack #trapper #pestcontrol #forestregeneration @peri_em

That's a size 10 boot-rat! We're pleased to capture this monster rat (our pick is a Norway rat) from the Waikawau wetland. It's a crucial time for our native wetland birds trying to nest and rear their chicks so we'll be increasing our rat trapping frequency and changing some lures and adding different traps to see if we can give them a helping hand this spring. 🐣🐤 #rattrapping #predatorcontrol #breedingseason

Had to slow this down, these birds were so quick zipping around us. Magical! Hihi are so rare they only occur on predator free islands like Hauturu (Little Barrier) or in fenced sanctuaries where they've been translocated. We loved our recent visit to our friends at @visit_zealandia, what a wonderful chance to experience the bird and reptile life that should be thriving in Aotearoa. A great reminder why pest control work is so important. Thanks for showing us around @nickytui24 🙏💚 #predatorcontrol #predatorfree #sanctuaries

It seems Tī kōuka/cabbage tree is a winner in this location! MEG have been planting with children from Colville school in the Waikawau Children's Forest for over 15 years, lately with assistance from @treesthatcount who fund the new trees. Here's a moment from when we went to monitor their progress 💚 thanks to all the children who have contributed to this special place. Ngā mihi nui 🙏
