Annual General Meeting

The 28th AGM will be held on Friday 27th August at the Yungaburra Community Hall commencing at 7.30pm.

John Kanowski will be our guest speaker and his talk will be 'Private nature conservation by AWC in northern Australia: what we do and why we do it'. John moved to the Atherton Tablelands in 1994 to conduct a PhD on rainforest possums and tree-kangaroos. In 2000, he moved to Griffith University to conduct research on the biodiversity values of replanted rainforest. In 2008, he took up the position of 'Regional Ecologist - north-east Australia' with the Australian Wildlife Conservancy. When not in the field, John lives at Malanda with his wife Cath and two daughters.

Annual reports by the President, Treasurer and Nursery Manager will be followed by the election of TREAT office bearers and committee members for the next year. Members are reminded that they must be financial when voting for the new committee. Subscriptions will be accepted at the AGM.

A General Meeting follows the AGM. The evening concludes with a supper and plate contributions are appreciated. Everyone is welcome to attend.
