I initiated, organised, and convened conference the 1998 WWF South-East Queensland Rainforest Recovery Conference, which brought together a wide range of stakeholders to share their knowledge of rainforest conservation issues and the range of recovery work underway. One of Australia’s first multi-species recovery planning projects was subsequently initiated.
I established the Teddington Weir Vineforest Project in 1997, as a demonstration site for the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) South-East Queensland Vineforests Project.
I coordinated the WWF South-East Queensland Vineforests Project in 1996-97, as a follow-on to The Vineforest Plant Atlas for South-East Queensland. The project developed proposals for high-priority vineforest sites. It also advocated for better local community knowledge engagement and empowerment in conservation, making substantial progress towards funding for financial assistance for landholders who conserve vineforests.
