Restore the walking access into the scenic Ohau valley in Tararua Forest Park

There are two slips on the Ohau Gorge track at Poads road near levin. DOC have lifted the closure of the track, subject to our group undertaking repairs to the track to ensure future erosion will not occur and the track is safe to walkers, trampers and others wanting to visit the valley and also use the huts and track beyound.

The GWBN intend to improve the condition of the track and will continue regualr maintenance so that the track is suitable for day walkers as well as trampers and hunters.

The Ohau river at the end of the track is a picturesc area with a area for camping and picnicing beside the river.

We have also recently finished overdue maintenance on the Gable End track and will be looking at improving this track further.

Funds raised from this Give a Little page will be used to purchase and transport material into the track so repairs can begin.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
