“Being an outdoor person, I have worked on several revegetation projects including two plantings at Ivory’s rock and one at Aroona.

I have been helping QTFN with their social media, particularly in setting up their twitter, and their interest in raising awareness about conservation wildlife and nature on private land is a testament to their motivation to conserve Queensland’s unique biodiversity.”
