Our Objective

There are many wonderful efforts in the world focused on biodiversity.  We are looking for those teams who have new ideas that are ready to get traction but just need a little helping developing their strategies and broaden their network.

Our Team

Jack and Hilary May - BioR USA - Reseed Restore - Kangaroo Island - Cygnet Park

Jack and his wife Hilary met while getting an MBA and a PhD from Stanford University. She founded and managed a management consulting company for 30 years while Jack jumped into international real estate development and finance.

While on a biking trip in South Australia, they explored and fell in love with Kangaroo Island…so much so they purchased the then-to-become Cygnet Park Sanctuary.

After many long evenings of trying to figure out how to become farmers on a small island off the coast of South Australia that was only a measly 17 hour flight from their home in Sonoma County, CA, they agreed with David Paton and David Taylor to begin to study potential breakthrough in conservation thinking at Cygnet Park.

Jack and Hilary leveraged their business experience to help both Davids create innovations new to the field, and hopefully able to create long term sustainable change. 

Jack and Hilary live on a small farm in Sonoma County with a plethora of farm animals where they do their best to entertain friends with as nice a local cuisine as they can create.

Their farm does its best to be a culinary art refuge in the current crazy world.
