Joan B. Rose

I am proud that I have been a long-time supporter of the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC). I became a supporter because of my love of wildlife and the habitats they live in.

I grew up in Châteauguay, Quebec. It was not a developed area and had meadows filled with wildflowers, forests and wildlife. I was forever bringing home injured animals and working hard at making them better so that they could be free again in their own domain.

When I think of how beautiful our country is, I remain a supporter of NCC so that I can be a small part of saving all this beauty that surrounds us. For future NCC endeavours, I have pledged a gift to them in my Will. Future generations should be able to enjoy the wonders that make our country so great, and if it is not done now, they will not have that opportunity.
