The Waipoua Forest Trust is a bicultural partnership between conservationists and Te Iwi O Te Roroa whose vision is to protect, restore, interpret and promote the internationally significant natural heritage at Waipoua.

Volunteers from all over the world spend working holidays at our conservation projects: restoring native kauri forest and protecting endangered kiwi

Waipoua Forest in Northland is New Zealand's largest sub-tropical rainforest; a unique environment with giant kauri trees up to 3,000 years old at the centre of its ecology; an environment rich in biodiversity in which endangered species flourish. If you volunteer to help us on a working holiday, you will be contributing to a history of conservation going back to 1952.
