Signature Homes & Save the Kiwi
Signature Homes recently signed up to become one of the major sponsors of the ‘Save the Kiwi’ programme, to help save a Kiwi icon. The relationship was a natural fit for Signature Homes, where we stand proud as a Kiwi-owned and operated company. We felt strongly about doing our bit to help save our environment through improved sustainable building methods and through supporting initiatives that help to save our environment.
We see the Kiwi bird as so much more than just an icon for Aotearoa New Zealand; they are a strong indicator of the health of our environment. For example, more Kiwi present in an area suggests fewer predators around, and fewer predators mean a more opportunity for other native birds and insects to thrive.
The Auction
The ‘Ultimate Kiwi Experience’ is a once and lifetime opportunity to get up close and personal with our national icon, something that is not available to the public - this is a truly special opportunity. Proceeds from the auction will be gifted to Save the Kiwi to help them save and protect our precious bird. Learn more about Save the Kiwi here.

About Save the Kiwi
Save the Kiwi works alongside whānau, hapū, iwi, conservation groups, communities, organisations, and the Department of Conservation Te Papa Atawhai to reverse the decline of the national kiwi population and create more kiwi-safe habitat all over Aotearoa. We work to raise awareness of the plight of the kiwi, how important this taonga is to all New Zealanders’ identities, and what people can do to help.
