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
Serbian Cultural Centre, Greenslopes Street, Cairns
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.
It’s also the space that CAFNEC identifies strategic campaigns or collaborations for our staff to support in our role as the regional Conservation Council for Far North Queensland. These are issues and campaigns we will take to a State and National level; to government, larger organisations and the wider community.
Who should attend?
Day one, Friday, of the Roundtable is only for those representing a CAFNEC Member Group.
Day two, Saturday 14 November is for you if you:
- volunteer with or work for a conservation, landcare, environment or climate focussed group in FNQ
- are a CAFNEC volunteer
- are a Traditional Owner or Aboriginal and or Torres Strait Islander community leader in the FNQ region concerned about protecting & healing Country
- are an Indigenous Ranger, staff member or representative of an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Corporation or Council
- work for an environmentally focussed Government Department, Local Council, Natural Resources Management or Quasi Government Organisation in FNQ
- represent some part of FNQ at a Local, State or National level of Government and care deeply about protecting and rehabilitating our region
New to climate or conservation and hoping to build new connections or get more involved? Please sign up to volunteer with this event here! Since the Roundtable is not an introductory event, volunteering is a great way to get a behind the scenes experience and observe.
