Ella Roberts is a member of West Rand Region, SANParks Honorary Rangers and has been a member of the organisation for 20 years.

"I don't think I can talk about myself, without telling where I came from. I grew up on my grandma's lap, and later side by side, while she told me stories about her father who was Paul Kruger. She was my mom's mother. I think he was the greatest conservationist of his time. Groenkloof nature reserve, Sondela and Pongola nature reserve, Kruger and many more were his idea. Protect, conserve, otherwise nothing is left for the next generation. And that is what I am building on and will keep doing till the end of my days.

With passion I will educate my colleagues and specially children, the next generation, about our incredible creation, and get them out of the concrete world. By learning about how we are connected to nature we can appreciate it more and realise that this is the only planet we can live on, and start converting it for our children, which if we look around us, is not happening at the moment. That is why I volunteer and why I have a SANParks Honorary Rangers (SHR) Junior Honorary group and also why I am the co-ordinator in the West Rand Region for the Public Education and Awareness Project. I studied Environmental Education at university and these two programs are to my heart's delight.

I hold monthly weekend workshops in Marakele National Park for my colleagues and get them through this to connect with nature. We work hard but also have lots of fun and get to know our trees, grasses, geology, veld flowers, stars at night and birds of which I have seen more than 800 species. I give courses in all the above.

I love giving my knowledge to whoever wants to listen and don't hold back, I can't take it with me. Two years ago, Marakele National Park bought an old cattle farm of about 1800 hectare. For thirteen months, on and off, my husband and I and whichever SHR had some time took down fences, droppers, all sorts of farming hardware in the different kraals and carried the rolled up fences and droppers to the nearest roads so that the trucks could pick it up. All this was done so that the fences could be dropped between the Park and the farm. Opening to the farm would provide good grazing for the animals. I worked right through Christmas and New year, to great annoyance of my children, but they know where my heart is.

I have four children, all married with ten grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

My other passion is the different National Parks. I have done the SHR courses for twenty of the National Parks. Meerkat National Park is outstanding. I have made a file on all twenty parks recording things that happened through the years. It warms my heart to see how the individual parks protect and conserve our endemic and endangered species. My wish is to hand it over the files one day to the different park managers. "
