Record number of Kererū found during this year's Great Kererū Count in Kaitoke Regional Park!

Community Engagement Advisor from Greater Wellington Regional Council

The Great Kererū Count is NZ’s biggest citizen science project to help gather information on the abundance and distribution of the New Zealand pigeon. As part of this wider initiative, we do annual monitoring in key locations. We’re excited to say that our team have been out counting in Kaitoke Regional Park had the highest count in 14 years with 186 kererū!

Kaitoke Regional Park includes some areas of high biodiversity and is one of GW’s Key Native Ecosystem sites (an area that has super special biodiversity – that we want to protect!). Check out www.gw.govt.nz... and see what you can do when you visit all the wonderful kererū who call the park their home.
