Doug Humann - Chief Executive Officer Thank you! As we proceed towards settlement and a public announcement of this new Reserve, I thank those who have generously donated. If you've not yet contributed please will you consider doing so now? Apart from the finalisation of Carnarvon Station an exciting year is ahead for Bush Heritage. We hope to make at least one further major land acquisition and range of land management activities are under way of planned. From this newsletter you;ll also see that we are planning a program of field visits for interested supporters.
Our most recent board meeting saw the retirement of long-standing directors Margaret Robertson and Ray McKendrick. Both gave enormously of their time, energies and expertise since their commencement as directors in 1994 and 1993 respectively. Margaret remains a stalwart of the Kojonup Reserve and continues to enthusiastically promote Bush Heritage in the west. Ray on Hobart has been a wonderful support to the office apart from his professional skills as a lawyer. The Board and staff join in thanking them for their outstanding contributions to Bush Heritage's growth and success. Doug Humann |
As
well as welcoming new staff and board members, we are also sadly
saying goodbye to Marg Graham. Marg was one of three staff employed
by Bush Heritage when I arrived in 1997 and she has made an enormous
contribution to the organisation. With characteristic good humour
and attention to detail, Marg has actively developed and maintained
relationships with supporters and volunteers, provided wonderful
support to the staff and board, and brought wisdom and consideration
to our development. We wish her and her husband, Bob, a wonderful
future on the Tasmanian island they've made their new home.
