Since 2016 the Toyota Kiwi Guardians programme has had kiwi kids scrambling up hills and through bush reserves, often following a dodgy map in search of a special plaque.
The programme was a partnership between the Department of Conservation and Toyota with an aim to get kids outside exploring and learning about nature.
It's been a massive success, an estimated 400,000 young people have participated.
However, this month, it was announced that the programme has come to an end.
