FNQ Environment Roundtable
As a regional conservation council, CAFNEC is tasked with representing our regional conservation issues at a State and National level; to government, larger organisations and the wider community. CAFNEC has hosted the FNQ Environment Roundtable for a number of years. The Roundtable brings together CAFNEC’s 46+ Member Groups from across the FNQ region to share challenges in caring for Country and restoring nature and identify strategic campaigns for CAFNEC staff to support.
Registration is now open for this years conference. It is an open invitation for Day 1 — Friday 14 November, to anyone who is interested in advocating or caring for Country across FNQ. Day 2 — Saturday 15 November, is a closed day for CAFNEC member groups. If you are part of a group advocating or caring for Country anywhere in FNQ (Cardwell to Zenadth Kes and west to the Gulf), you can apply to be a Member Group here.
Registration is essential.
