Caroline Williams is a woman in her eighties who loves our natural environment and has been interested in caring for it and enhancing the living cloak of Aotearoa for a long time. She was formerly involved with Forest and Bird but has now chosen to donate trees because she is no longer physically capable of engaging in active conservation work.

Caroline chose to donate trees to A Rocha Wellington projects because of A Rocha’s Christian kaupapa; she likes that A Rocha is caring for God’s creation and community. Her first donations went to A Rocha projects in the Kapiti area and in February 2024 Irene Parminter arranged for Caroline to visit some of the trees she had donated. She enjoyed the day out and was impressed by the dedication and commitment of A Rocha members to the work of conservation and restoration of native bush areas.

Caroline has every intention of continuing her donations as long as she is financially able to do so and hopes that her example will encourage others to do the same.

Thank you, Caroline!
