Toyota Kiwi Guardians is an activity programme supported by both Toyota NZ and the Dept of Conversation for kids to learn about nature, earn cool rewards and go on epic family adventures!
The partnership will connect Kiwi kids with New Zealand’s natural environment and inspire them to take action for nature in their back yards and communities. For Toyota, this is part of an ongoing commitment to help grow and support the best of Kiwi life.
New Zealanders are increasingly living sedentary lives and spending more time on screens, meaning the connection to nature within our future generations is under threat. Studies have shown there are positive links between direct experiences in nature and children’s mental, emotional and physical health and well-being.
DOC and Toyota through Bowater Toyota will work together to motivate Kiwi kids and their families to get out and explore the special places that are right on their doorstep in our wonderful region at the top of the South Island.
Help us create future guardians of New Zealand – Toyota Kiwi Guardians.

Launched in 2016 as a partnership between the Department of Conservation (DOC) and Toyota New Zealand, Toyota Kiwi Guardians aims to increase Kiwi kids’ connection with nature.
New Zealanders are increasingly living sedentary lives and spending more time on screens, meaning the connection to nature within our future generations is under threat. Andrew Davis, Toyota’s General Manager of Marketing, says spending time in nature allows children time away from screens, devices, and other digital distractions.
“Camping is the epitome of a digital detox and so many Kiwis take fond memories of camping and the outdoors into later life. This summer there is no excuse for kids to be complaining of boredom – they can be out learning about their surrounds and earning medals instead.”
