Jacqui Nielsen

Jacqui runs a plant nursery on main Chatham cultivating native Chathams species and works for the Te Ara Manu project under the Jobs for Nature program.
 
Her whānau has recently put 300 ha of land into a Ngā Whenua Rāhui covenant to help protect some of our islands' most endangered fauna and flora.
 
She is passionate about both conservation and the Chatham Island community, so becoming a trustee of CILRT felt like a natural fit.
