Buy the hill: More than $100,000 of $120,000 goal raised in half a day!
Kiwis have already put up more than half the cash needed to bring two of Christchurch’s highest peaks into public ownership and turn them into a conservation park.
The Press has teamed up with the Rod Donald Banks Peninsula Trust on its Te Ahu Pātiki project, to help raise enough money to buy a 500-hectare block between Mt Herbert and Mt Bradley.
The aim is to make sure the public will always have access to a sprawling network of popular walking tracks, and to let the whole block return to native bush.
A Givealittle page was launched this morning to help the trust overcome its last hurdle. Click the links below to read the full story and donate.
