We are very excited to announce a new Partnership Program between Cycle Journeys, the Great Taste Trail Trust, Tasman District Council and landowners to enhance a section of the trail alongside the Wai-iti River and Quail Valley.
The project aims to remove weeds along the Great Taste cycle trail margins, and replant with native plant species over the next few years. Cycle Journeys is providing funding as part of it’s Leave Better program, which is a contribution from luggage transfer fees collected from it’s customers, with these going back into trail maintenance. Planting will commence in 2025.
Cycle Journeys CEO Greg Cayford says "This is our way of giving back to the Great Taste Trail, and the local community and environment. It’s a great project adding value alongside the Ewing Poultry free range egg farm who have planted fruit trees along the trail… in years to come riders will have some more ‘Great Tastes’ to enjoy, and planting natives is the right thing for us to be doing alongside this.
