Kaharoa Kokako Trust - Autumn Newsletter

posted: Wed, May 06, 2026

Welcome to our new newsletter! We are so glad to have you with us.

Whether you’ve been a long-time supporter of Kaharoa Kōkako Trust or you’re just discovering the work we do, this newsletter is your new home for updates, stories, and ways to get your hands dirty (in the best way possible). Our efforts focus on nurturing a kōkako stronghold through predator control and habitat preservation efforts in the Kaharoa Forest. This quarterly newsletter is our way of bringing that mission directly to you.

KKT have a new website too so if you are interested in learning more about the Trust, the work they do and/or Kokako in the conservation area, head to their website and check it out Kaharoa Kokako Trust
