The Trust requires ongoing funding for predator-proof fence maintenance, native planting to provide cover, research at the Kaikoura Peninsula and mountain colonies, predator control, equipment, education, events and increasing awareness. To help achieve our aims we have created a “Friends Of The Hutton’s Shearwater” membership, sponsorship packages, accept donations, utilise Givealittle, and sell merchandise.

The Trust needs all the assistance it can get in ensuring conservation management of endangered Hutton’s shearwater continues. Your donation makes a real difference!
