Muriwai Environmental Trust are working toward a bold vision: returning kiwi to the forests of Muriwai.
Our iconic national bird is conservation dependent—without protection from introduced predators like stoats and ferrets, 94% of wild-hatched kiwi will not survive.
Your steps make a difference. Every stride helps raise vital funds to support bringing kiwi home. For more details on the Muriwai kiwi project click here.
The Muriwai Environmental Trust (MET) was established in 2011 with a simple but powerful goal: to care for, protect, and enhance the natural environment of Muriwai and Waimauku. We’re a registered charitable trust (CC47215), grounded in local action and community connection.
Over the past decade, MET has fostered a highly engaged local community while becoming a trusted partner to mana whenua, Auckland Council, and the Department of Conservation. MET's work spans across animal and plant pest control, regenerative planting, and community education — all with the aim of protecting and restoring our unique landscape.
