Goal

Give a gift today, to pass on the joy of Ōtari-Wilton's Bush to future generations.

Established by Ōtari-Wilton's Bush Trust, the Ōtari-Wilton's Bush Fund aims to build long-term support for this iconic Wellington ecological, conservation and recreational site.

The Fund is dedicated to supporting the Trust's work of building public awareness and appreciation of the Bush, restoring and enhancing the Bush's native forest, advocating for native plant conservation, encouraging scientific research into native flora, and fostering understanding of Ōtari-Wilton's Bush's rich history.

All donations given to the Ōtari-Wilton's Bush Fund will be responsibly invested and grown, with grants offered back to the Trust every year once the fund reaches $100,000.

To support Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush forever and help the Trust reach its fundraising goal of $20,000,000, you can donate online via this form.
