Fantastic News for the West Coast Wilderness Trail!
Thanks to the incredible support of Te Matapuna Waiora a Io Trust and a generous grant from a private trust, we’re delighted to announce that a Motom has been purchased for riders with accessibility needs on the West Coast Wilderness Trail. This will open up our trail to so many more people who otherwise may not be able to experience this amazing environment.
The Motom will be managed and cared for by Trustee, Cindy Hopper, and her family—right on the trail at West Coast Scenic Waterways.
We’ll be holding a special launch and christening this Tuesday. If you’d like to be part of this celebration, please send us a private message.
A huge shout out to Natalie Gauld and Cindy Hopper, who have championed this project every step of the way. Sincere thanks also to Natalie’s father Brian and the Trust that funded the purchase, to the Te Matapuna Waiora a Io Trustees for their support in applying for the funding, Mitre 10 Greymouth for helping with the storage shed, and Vehicle Adaptations, who manufactured the Motom, helped get it here and have been incredibly supportive throughout.
Details on how to book and use the Motom will be available soon via Cindy at West Coast Scenic Waterways.
We can’t wait to see this making the trail more accessible for everyone!
