Prince Albert Community Trust (PACT)
Prince Albert Community Trust was born out of need. In 2011, the founder, Ingrid Wolfaardt wrote a letter to the current mayor of the time, Goliath Lottering, asking the question: “Mr Lottering, the children of this town are dying of lack of vision, what are you, as the new custodian of this town going to do about it?” His reply, “Mrs Wolfaardt what are you planning to do about it?” was the beginning of PACT. Mr Lottering approached Ingrid in 2012 to establish a community trust for the town and surrounding area that would act as a bona fide vehicle for funding and support for community development projects. Today, PACT creates a space where diverse individuals unite for the greater good, balancing varied backgrounds and interests to benefit the community.

Wolwekraal Nature Reserve
Wolwekraal Nature Reserve protects flora, fauna and heritage using cameras and rangers to ensure that future generations will be able to enjoy this biodiversity and heritage-rich property. It is managed by Wolwekraal Conservation and Research Organisation, a Public Benefit Organisation that also carries out veld restoration trials, trains young people through internships, and offers educational guided walks on the Nature Reserve. Contributions via this booking site will help us to maintain camera installations, support our rangers and interns, and expand research that will help to restore damaged Karoo veld.
