Experience Purangi

We provide a place for kiwi to thrive. Our project at Pūrangi, East Taranaki is a community initiative, involving the implementation of a suite of pest control and advocacy measures to promote conservation and sustainability in the Pūrangi / Matau and Pouiatoa catchments. Kiwi is our indicator species. We have around 13,000 hectares of land within the project area, which is home to over 4000 kiwi. We are proud to be one of the largest community environment schemes in New Zealand. This is an area of significant habitat of nationally threatened and at risk indigenous species.
