We are always delighted to welcome new supporters. Trust members receive a quarterly newsletter, plus free attendance for our annual Guided Walks programme and Seminar Series.
Our membership year is from 1 April to 31 March. New members joining after 1 January will have their membership credited to the following year. Memberships can be paid online to Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush Trust: account 03-0518-0205713-00.
Donations and legacies help the Trust in its work to protect and enhance Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush and support the future of New Zealand native plants. Funds raised help towards academic scholarships, staff training courses, conservation science, forest restoration and environmental education for school children. You can donate by online banking or simply deposit funds in the donation box at the Tāne Whakapiripiri Visitor Centre.
If you wish to process either memberships or donations by credit card please contact to discuss. The Trust is a registered charitable organisation (CC 22527). Donations over $5 may qualify for a tax rebate.
Alternatively, donations and legacies can be made to the Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush Fund, an endowment fund managed by the Nikau Foundation. Please see https://www.owbt.nz/membership-endowments/endowment-fund/. If you prefer to give a legacy directly to the Trust, please email .
