To preserve Woodfordia, and all its wildlife and habitat for future generations, we need to secure the land in a Foundation.

A new grove of trees will be planted at Woodfordia to acknowledge individual contributions of $250,000 towards the Fundraising Campaign. Our heartfelt thanks go to Joanne and Stephen Pronk for becoming our first Forest of Goodwill Fellows through their generous donation.
We would like to acknowledge the donations and bequests of some long-term Woodfordians who have given generously in the years before this campaign began.
Buying the land and securing it in a trust has always been the plan. Over the year’s some generous Woodfordians have made significant donations or bequests with the hope that the money would go towards putting the land in trust some time in the future. We have kept those funds separate and are now able to honour the donors intentions.
These donations totaled $141,000 and were the seed funding for the Forest of Goodwill campaign.
We would like to acknowledge the generous donations and bequest of the late Des Ritchie (President of Woodfordia for 17 years), John Wakely, Campbell the Swaggie, Stephen Pronk and George Lewin.
We recognise, appreciate, and graciously receive gifts from our ancestors.
We understand these are the gifts of lore and the celebration of our existence.
We’ll gift future generations with a clean slate; an organisation, a land, and a legacy unencumbered by financial, social, or environmental debt.
We’ll cultivate a convention of decision-making, strengthening through time, that will resonate in our work and nurture our future.
We’ll plant a forest of goodwill and benefit from its shade. We’ll build with the eyes of artists.
We’ll provide space for our descendants to meet the challenges of their generations with vigour, courage, and imagination, and encourage them to celebrate their journeys with levity and frivolity.
The 500 Year Plan lives in our minds. It is our myth. It is a vision for how we might be and sensed by all who feel our welcome.
