Kiwi Conservation Club

The Kiwi Conservation Club (KCC)is a Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society project for children. It began in 1988 and is cool for kids. Over 17,000 children receive the Kiwi Conservation Club magazine, including around 1000 schools that receive the magazine.

The Kiwi Conservation Club magazine is delivered to members five times a year. It features articles about the natural world of New Zealand in lively notes, stories, cartoons and puzzles. Members contributions are welcomed and there are competitions too! The magazine is also great for school projects.

In some areas there are also local club activities. Club trips explore and learn about New Zealand’s wildlife, the native forests, the sea shore and other special places. Find out about activities in your area.

KCC Coordinators are volunteer mums, dads, friends and Forest and Bird members. They commit their time to organise KCC activities. If you are interested in helping to organise an event (or events) in your area please contact your local KCC coordinator or Forest and Bird.

The KCC website has been developed for members of the Kiwi Conservation Club and all other children who would like to learn more about New Zealand’s wildlife and wild places, and how to care for and protect the natural world.

If you are visiting this site from outside New Zealand we extend a big welcome to you. Remember that while the KCC website is focusing on New Zealand issues mother earth does not recognise country boundaries like people do – our planet is one living system and we must care for her wherever we live.

We hope the KCC website will encourage everyone to appreciate nature and our place in it.
