The Summit Road Society was established in 1948 to further the vision of Harry Ell to preserve and protect the Port Hills of Christchurch New Zealand. We own four reserves on the Port Hills: Ohinetahi Bush Reserve above Governors Bay, Omahu Bush and the adjacent Gibraltar Rock above Tai Tapu and the newly acquired Linda Woods Reserve between Avoca and Horotane Valleys.

Donations towards the Society will go towards our important work around track maintenance, pest and predator control, native bush restoration and advocacy for the Port Hills.
