Newstead’s Geoff Park has won Australian science’s most prestigious award, a Eureka Prize.
Announced in Sydney on 18 August at a star studded dinner, the prize is for Research by an Interdisciplinary Team.
Geoff was part of a team to develop the prize winning INFFER (Investment Framework for Environmental Resources) project which helps work out how best to invest money for the greatest environmental outcomes in rural areas. Geoff and Mary Park were at the dinner when the award was announced.
Geoff’s love of birdlife and the natural environment is well known around Newstead. He recently started an online blog called Natural Newstead which includes his and others’ observations of bird and plant life in the local area. Check it out at http://geoffpark.wordpress.com
Geoff has also been encouraging landscape restoration through his involvement with the regional project Connecting Country
