Banks Peninsula to become home to new 500ha conservation park
A surprise offer has left a Canterbury charitable trust needing to raise $600,000 to turn hundreds of hectares of farmland into a conservation park.
The Rod Donald Banks Peninsula Trust has officially launched its Te Ahu Pātiki project to bring the 500ha block into public ownership.
It has started an online fundraising campaign to purchase a swathe of land on the Christchurch-facing side of Mt Herbert and Mt Bradley.
Trust manager Suky Thompson said the total cost of the project would be about $1.5 million, both to finalise the purchase by July 2021 and to start turning it back into native bush.
