24th November – 7pm at Newday cafe in the Parua Bay Shopping Centre

BYK are  celebrating the Manaia Landcare initiative and releasing two new kiwi prints.
Come to the Kiwi Print release and party with us!   Enjoy Newday Café nibbles and Grinning Gecko Cheese

Five years ago Backyard Kiwi emerged from the undergrowth, popping up around the district on road signs, in the news and online, at www.backyardkiwi.org.nz. The kiwi character created by local artist-illustrator Heather Hunt has become a much-loved ambassador of the Backyard Kiwi project.

Kiwi prints released over this time have proven popular locally and throughout NZ. Prints are sent all around the world and the Backyard Kiwi has become a roving ambassador for kiwi recovery.

This November, we are pleased to announce the release of the last two Backyard Kiwi prints, completing the set of six!
All six prints will be on display in an exhibition at Newday café from the 24^th of November to the 5^th of January.
To complete your collection of Backyard Kiwi prints, order prints at Newday Café or on our website.
Special thanks to Heather Hunt for her ongoing efforts to support Backyard Kiwi, proceeds from Heathers work go to the Backyard Kiwi project.

As the kiwi population on the peninsula expands, a feral Free Range Kiwi has arrived on the scene. Now you can have your own glow-in-the-dark kiwi.Printed on reflective film, these signs will shine proudly at night on your letterbox, by your driveway, in your garden, at your front door, or wherever you like!

The Free Range Kiwi has been sighted in all manner of local and international sites, possibly on a reconnaissance for suitable new homes. Heather Hunt has posted photographs of these sightings on her website.http://www.heatherhunt.co.nz/illustration/FreeRangeKiwi

Exhibition runs from: November 24 to January 05
Take your summer visitors for a coffee at Newday Café, show off our unique kiwi and learn more about the Backyard Kiwi project.
