The Summit Road Society is run by volunteers and is dependent on membership subscriptions, grants donations and bequests to carry out its work and to manage our two Port Hills Reserves.
Over the years we have had some very generous donations and bequests, including, in the mid-1990s, sufficient funds to enable us to buy the land that now forms Ohinetahi Reserve.
If you value the Port Hills and support the work of the Summit Road Society and its many hard-working volunteers, please consider making a bequest and talk to your solicitor about leaving us in your will.
Where to make a bequest
