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. The FNQ Environment Roundtable, hosted by CAFNEC for a number of years, has provided an opportunity for CAFNEC to bring together CAFNEC Members and Supporters within the FNQ region to discuss our challenges and solutions, and identify strategic issues.
For the first time, this year, we have opened the invite on Saturday 2 December to the broader community to demonstrate the grassroots power of our network and bring attention to the work of our member groups across the region.
