A push to create a new public reserve

From Afternoons, 1:15 pm today

We head to beautiful Le Bons Bay, just north of Akaroa in Banks Peninsula, where a fundraising effort is underway to purchase a large piece of land which is on the market, to create a public reserve.

The Le Bons Bay Conservation Trust has a vision to buy the property, protect native flora and fauna, and allow walking access to the public.

Jesse talks to Matthew MacDonald from the trust to find out more. You can make a donation here.

The Le Bons Bay Conservation Trust has a vision is to purchase the 39 hectare Old Wharf Road property in Le Bons Bay.
