In 2003-04, I coordinated the Upper Ma Ma Creek Rainforest Restoration Project, which brought together scientific knowledge and local knowledge to carry out weed control trials to assist the conservation of endangered rainforest remnants in the Lockyer Valley in south-east Queensland.

I initiated and developed the Biodiversity Recovery Plan for Gatton and Laidley Shires, South-East Queensland 2003-2008, drawing on a wide range of scientific and local knowledge from a multi-stakeholder recovery team. The Biodiversity Recovery Plan takes a multi-species and ecosystem recovery planning approach, and is linked to local government planning.
