Established in March 2010, the Conservation team is supported by funding from the Australian Government for our Great Ocean Road Renewal Program,

The team has a particular focus on the Natural Values Project component of the program. This project aims to improve native vegetation communities along our coastal reserves by blitzing weeds over the next three years and boosting native plant species and is afforded strategic guidance afforded by our 2009 Native Vegetation and Weed Action Plan.

Our conservation team comprises three members, Georgina, Evan and Zac. The team is responsible for our conservation efforts along the coast between Torquay and Lorne with a particular focus on weeds and native vegetation, and on working with community groups and other partners.

Additionally, the experienced Conservation Team is instrumental in the delivery of the Environmental Education and Activities Program. The Conservation Team consists of experienced land managers and conservation experts who are able to lead the program in a safe environment and professional manner. Members have teaching experience, a wealth of knowledge about coastal environments and all appropriate qualifications, such as working with children certificates and first aid certificates.
