Multimillion-dollar slice of Kiwi paradise given to charity

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Otago News

A multimillion-dollar slice of New Zealand’s most spectacular landscape is being donated to charity to protect it from development and ensure it remains unspoiled for future generations.

Queenstown couple Dick and Jillian Jardine are giving 900 hectares of their Remarkables Station to the Queen Elizabeth II National Trust, which is dedicated to protecting the country’s natural heritage.

The pristine land sits at the foot of the Remarkables mountain range and skirts the edge of Lake Wakatipu, some of the most recognisable scenery in the country.

The trust will hold the freehold land in perpetuity, ensuring the land and biodiversity on the property is protected. Read more here.
