The Tairua River Trail is a community project that, when completed, will deliver lasting benefits for locals and visitors alike. You can help us bring it to life.
The project is delivered by the Hikuai District Trust, a registered New Zealand charity. We work closely with our supporters to ensure every contribution is acknowledged in a way that reflects the donor’s wishes. Whether you’d like to make a one-off gift, contribute regularly, or explore a larger partnership, we’re happy to tailor an arrangement that aligns with your values.

Supporters can donate a bridge plank for $2,000 (one or multiple). Donors will be recognised through on-site signage and digital acknowledgements, with personalised messages included according to your preferences.
