On this field trip you will help return a young kiwi to the wild in Tongariro forest. But first, find and collect a kiwi egg from the forest and take it to be incubated, hatched and reared in a captive rearing facility. Find out why this process helps kiwi to have the best chance of surviving. This field trip could make you think about helping kiwi where you live.
