Aotea Gifts is matching every dollar donated during the Queenstown Trails Annual Trail Lovers Appeal up to $25,000

Queenstown Trails, the charitable trust which has driven the development of the 200km+ trail network, is targeting $100k by the end of April for this year's appeal.

That includes the new Shotover Gorge Trail, which is opening to the public soon.

Queenstown Trails CEO Mark ‘Willy’ Williams is delighted to have Aotea Gifts, which has been a corporate supporter of the trust's work since 2015, onboard.

“It’s gratifying to have the volunteered generosity of a local business, as it helps ensure that we can look after and improve the network for current and future generations”

“We have been so lucky to have this incredibly loyal base of Trail Lovers donating every year, but with over 400,000 runners, walkers and bikers using the trails every year, it’s great to cast the net wider and get support from businesses operating in Queenstown.”

Established in 1979 by Peter Hanson, the remains 100% family owned and is operated by Richard and Donald Hanson. It has operated in Queenstown since 1988.
