  How Can You Help?      
   

 If you like what the NZWT is doing, there are various ways in which you can help:

 At home

  • Your interest alone is valuable support. Like all organizations whose entire efforts are
    volunteer-based and all time is donated, NZWT's ability to achieve its aims depends on adequate funding. Any contribution you make will be gratefully accepted, acknowledged and a receipt issued. Please indicate if you wish your donation to be spent on a particular aspect,
    eg., "moose camera project", "DNA research", "child education" "books about wildlife" or some other facet.
    Please make your cheque out to:
  • NZ Wildlife Trust,
    598 Bull Creek Road
    RD
    Milton 9292
    Otago
    New Zealand

  • To keep abreast of NZWT projects you may like to become a subscribed NZWT Member and receive regular up-date newsletters. Please write to the Trust Manager or e-mail any of the Trustees, so your interest will be noted when publication commences.

 Helping with the Fiordland Moose Project:

To the few hardy souls who seriously visit Fiordland wilderness, NZWT is keen to provide a forum for sharing information about moose; collectively all our efforts will result in a better understanding of them in Fiordland. Please contact the Manager.
  • Evidence of moose, especially browsing evidence, differs conspicuously from red deer sign to a good observer. Further searching near these areas may yield snagged hair or fresh droppings capable of successful DNA profiling. Package and label the sample carefully, keeping any hair dry and send to the Manager who will arrange analysis, and you will be advised of results.

 Moose History

  • Perhaps you know someone who has had a first-hand contact with moose in earlier days. If they are willing to share their story New Zealand's wildlife history will be the richer for it.
    Please contact Ken Tustin or the Trust Manager.
