FNQ Environment Roundtable

Annual gathering for those who protect & rehabilitate Country across FNQ to stay inspired and connected

Friday 13 November (Member Groups only) & Saturday 14 November

Why does CAFNEC host this event?

CAFNEC hosts the Roundtable every year to bring together leaders, advocates and those dedicated to caring for Country in our Far North Queensland region. The Roundtable is a space to share our experiences and inspire each other.

Its an opportunity for people from across our vast region to be in the same room sharing learnings & challenges from your work. 

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. Through the Roundtable CAFNEC identifies strategic campaigns  or collaborations to for our staff to support.
