Kia ora koutou

We are planning to run our next kiwi avoidance training in mid July - probably the 18th (weather permitting). As in previous years, Lesley Baigent will help us to do this for which we are very appreciative.

This year we are using a new booking process as follows:

1. Create an account and then register your dogs on kiwiavoidancetraining.nz
2. Email Lesley on her email address ([email protected]) to say you are interested in the July session, and her team will book your dogs in and provide further details.

Usually the day is over subscribed, so it would be great if you can apply for a slot as soon as possible.

Lesley and her team are volunteering their time for this as part of the Far North Kiwi Protection Team. As in previous years, if you are able to provide a koha on the day that would be greatly appreciated. Those funds will go to helping the kiwi rehab centre at Waipapa and other local kiwi work like translocations.

We hope you can attend and thank you for helping us to protect our kiwi.
