Ōhinetahi Reserve Fire Damage
Help us to restore Ōhinetahi Reserve after the 2024 Port Hills fire
Christchurch, Canterbury
In February 2024, Ōhinetahi Reserve on the Port Hills was again struck by fire. 22 hectares of regenerating bush was burnt.
Ōhinetahi Reserve is owned and managed by the Summit Road Society, a grassroots charity dedicating to protecting and restoring the Port Hills.
The Summit Road Society is now fundraising to help with the costs of the recovery after the fire, including rock remediation, planting and track work. Total costs are expected to be over $30,000 for 2024 alone. Areas of Ōhinetahi Reserve are currently closed until this work can be undertaken. Please support us to restore Ōhinetahi Reserve.
