Never seen before: hihi parents successfully adopt an abandoned hihi chick

The winter of 2002 saw the most ambitious species release in Zealandia to date.  

Kiwi don’t hibernate in winter – so why should you? Pull a jacket and a beanie on and embrace the elements - there’s plenty to do in Wellington in winter. 

Anyone who has battled weeds in their garden can appreciate the monumental effort of our Weed Team this summer season.  

Kiwifruit & Kawakawa is the latest exclusive syrup flavour by Six Barrel Soda, inspired by Zealandia. Each bottle purchased will donate $1 to support our conservation efforts to help birds, plants and critters thrive in Wellington and beyond.  

Professor Margaret Hyland, the Vice-Provost Research at Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington, has joined Zealandia’s Board. 

Weed Team Ranger, Summer, shares what makes a weed, a weed.

The lush cascading kiekie plants at Zealandia Te Māra a Tāne have been harvested as a gift to the country’s cultural heritage. 

Buried under the soil of trees and plants, a kingdom of life has waited all year to make an appearance. With autumn, comes the sprouting of the magical world of fungi in Zealandia.

Showcase your photography on the walls of Zealandia’s stairwell art gallery - Te Māra Toi! Open to everyone.
