For 30 years, Forest & Bird’s Kiwi Conservation Club | Hakuturi Toa (KCC) has been connecting Kiwi kids to New Zealand’s amazing wildlife and wild places.

KCC now has over 5,000 members throughout Aotearoa New Zealand. Join in the fun and help us get the next generation protecting our wildlife and wild places.

Starting at just $24/per year, members receive:

• Our quarterly Wild Things magazine. The magazines make topics like wild rivers, marine reserves and worms fun for kids using a range of articles, cartoons, games & even plays! Each issue also contains calls-to-action, so that you can use your hands, eyes, and voice to make a real difference.
• The opportunity to go on KCC Adventures anywhere in the country. In most places around New Zealand, volunteer coordinators (KCOs) arrange outings/meet-ups for members to explore their local beaches, forests and everywhere in between. Some clubs also get involved in local conservation projects like tree planting, creating lizard gardens or making nesting boxes for little blue penguins. Find out where your closest branches are HERE.
• Entry to our various nationwide challenges, projects and competitions; to be a Youth Reporter on our blog; and to maybe even get published in Wild Things!

We go on adventures all over New Zealand. Get involved in a KCC event near you! Check out our events or contact your local/closest coordinator.

Our quarterly Wild Things magazine is jam packed with articles, activities, stories, cartoons, games, and even plays! Have fun, learn, and take action for Aotearoa New Zealand’s wildlife and wild places.

More than 50 volunteer coordinators work behind the scenes to help engage children with nature around New Zealand by organising regular KCC events in their regions.
