Powerful research and learning
QTFN works with universities and researchers to drive a brighter future for Queensland’s biodiversity and ecosystems.
We provide unique sites for field research and learning along with our own scientific expertise.
We’re thrilled to work with the brightest minds (young and experienced) to observe and monitor activity, and drive change and lasting benefits.
Working with universities and researchers, QTFN offers:
- Trusted, experienced scientists with which to partner for an outcome-based approach
- QTFN owned holdings available for long-term, landscape scale restoration and impact research for specific flora and fauna
- A network of volunteers plus strong and established community relationships
- Transparent and financially astute approach to maximise the use of funding – and ensure it pays off.
From Honours students and research groups to leading scientists, QTFN is currently collaborating on:
- Koala habitat research (University of Queensland)
- Brush-tailed rock-wallaby research (University of Queensland)
- Flatback turtle research (Griffith University).
