The Dunedin Branch leads a range of conservation projects in and around Dunedin.
From seabirds, to weed removal. Our branch is passionate about on-the-ground conservation efforts in Ōtepoti Dunedin.
Bring Back the Seabirds
Dunedin is a seabird capital. 11 species breed within close proximity to the city and 19 species frequent shoreline waters. Our Bring Back the Seabirds project aims to enhance remnant breeding populations on the Otago coast and re-establish breeding species thought to be present at the time of the first human arrival.
Tautuku Ecological Restoration
Our branch is working with Forest & Bird's South Otago and Southland branches to conduct landscape-scale conservation in and around Tautuku, in the Catlins.
Forest Restoration at Moore's Bush
We are working to restore Moore's Bush, a 4-hectare nature reserve in the Leith Valley. Our current focus is tree planting, removing exotic weeds, and maintaining the tracks and fences.
Project Kererū Recovery project
Project Kererū is a voluntary community-based conservation project that is changing the fate of sick and injured kererū in Dunedin and surrounding areas.
