As a regional conservation council, CAFNEC is tasked with representing FNQ’s 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 50+ 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.

Day 1, Friday 13 November, is a closed day for CAFNEC member groups. Day 2, Saturday 14 November, is open to anyone who is interested in advocating or caring for Country across FNQ. We will have guests speakers from across our region, showcasing the incredible work happening on the ground and providing space for connection and skill sharing.   

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 will open in June, sign up below to be contacted when tickets are available.
