From May to June, kororā come ashore to prepare their nests. We are lucky in Wellington as our coastline shelters kororā during this period.
Build your own kōhanga kororā using different materials provided to piece together a nest, like those that the kororā will be building for their eggs.
Tamariki must be accompanied by a caregiver at all times.
