For two weeks in late March and early April 2026, Botany Curator Heidi Meudt took some time off botany work to be a Department of Conservation volunteer for birds – specifically, a volunteer cook for the Kākāpō Recovery team.
For Heidi, this was the opportunity of a lifetime to visit this isolated, predator-free biological paradise. She shows how she made a small, personal contribution to the conservation of the kākāpō and to the team that looks after these incredible birds.
