Moths and Butterflies of NZ Trust

02/10/2026

Kia ora! Are you passionate about conservation, wildlife, and making a real difference for Aotearoa's taonga species?

The Moths and Butterflies of NZ Trust has amazing resources provided free of charge to those interested in protecting our beautiful butterflies and moths, but they are all in English. We would love to have our resources available in Te Reo, and that's where you come in.

We would like someone to review our resources, webpages, an dsocial media campaigns as time allows, and advise us how to do better while observing Mātauranga Māori.

We will be happy to teach you more than you ever knew about monarch butterflies and other native species of Lepidoptera, plus the habitat(s) in which they live.

You would be working with the founding trustee/secretary of our charity and this would give you the opportunity to develop strong customer service and decision-making skills, focusing on solutions and developing your confidence. This position would suit someone studying Te Reo Māori or Mātauranga Māori. You will get a ton of experience AND help a good cause at the same time.

It's National Gardening Month

People plant a swan plant and think that's all butterflies need... but it's not. The adults - the ones with wings - need nectar flowers to sustain them. The caterpillars will eat a lot of food, and each species generally has its own plant family to eat.

Using eggshells for seeds is a smart, eco-friendly way to start your garden using free materials from your kitchen.

✅You can plant the whole shell directly into the ground, which prevents transplant shock. ✅Eggshells are made of calcium carbonate. As the shell breaks down in the soil, it releases calcium, which helps build strong plant cell walls.
✅Repurposing kitchen scraps keeps single-use plastic seed trays out of landfills.
✅ You do not need to spend money on specialised starter pots if your household already eats eggs.
✅Crushed pieces mixed around the base of plants can help discourage crawling pests like snails and slugs. 🦋
