Amber Allott05:00, Jun 05 2021 ALDEN WILLIAMS/STUFF The Press's Buy the Hill campaign is in support of the Rod Donald Trust's vision to buy Christchurch's highest peak to secure public access and the regeneration of native forest. (First published May 26, 2021) An invasive weed interlocked in constant battle with farmers will be key to transforming Christchurch’s highest peaks back into native bush. Stuff and The Press helped the Rod Donald Banks Peninsula Trust crowdfund the last $120,000 it needed for its Te Ahu Pātiki project through Givealittle. The charitable trust had been raising $1.5 million to buy a 500-hectare block of farmland between Mt Herbert (Te Ahu Pātiki) and Mt Bradley and bring it into public ownership.
