Meet the Team
We're all passionate about conservation on Rotoroa Island. All ferry visitors are welcomed by an island ranger and you'll often see one of our small team out and about on the island - we're always happy to stop for a friendly chat.
GLEN LUCAS
Island Manager
Glen's background as an arborist and experience on other Hauraki Gulf Islands has prepared him fabulously for the ever-changing roles on Rotoroa Island. He has a keen love of fishing and is a dab hand on a BBQ. Glen's favourite spot on the island is Ladies Bay, a BBQ and fabulous place for a swim.
MILLY LUCAS
Assistant Island Manager
Milly is the lead guide on our island Nature Walks. Her background in early childhood education gives her amazing insights into connecting people with conservation. Milly can be found doing any one of the various tasks on the island - from preparing holiday homes for guests to checking the traps around the island, or a welcoming face in our kiosk.
ANDREW MALOY
Relieving Ranger
A keen outdoorsman with a background in horticulture and education, Andrew loves the way Rotoroa Island vegetation has changed so much in such a short time, providing ideal conditions for native birds to thrive and breed successfully. His favourite times on Rotoroa are when the kowhai bloom, then later when you get the chance to spot pāteke, dotterel and oyster catcher chicks, or perhaps even see a rare takahē chick.
JO RITCHIE
Operations Manager
Jo is a passionate supporter of making sanctuaries predator free then letting nature do what it does best. With a background in planning and ecology, she's been involved in many pest eradication successes including Rotoroa Island. Jo never misses a chance to share special moments in conservation with those who are curious. A keen sailor, Jo is always up for a swim at her favourite spot - Cable Bay.
ANGELA BISHOP
Marketing Advisor
Angela's background in tourism and marketing means she is always keen to hear about visitors' experiences on the island. Working remotely, she loves any excuse to visit and can't miss an early morning walk around Southern Loop Track with a swim at Men's Bay.
