Connecting Country’s new Project Coordinator
Posted on 4 April, 2011 by Connecting Country
Chris Timewell has recently joined Connecting Country in the role of full time Project Coordinator. Chris’ background is an ecologist with over 10 years experience from all parts of Victoria and elsewhere throughout Australia. From his previous professional career as an environmental consultant, he brings to Connecting Country his experience working as a manager and technical specialist on a range of projects for the private and public sector.
Chris also has a long history of involvement in not-for-profit community groups as a volunteer, and has been an enthusiastic and active member of the Castlemaine Field Naturalists Club since moving to the area about 3 years ago.
Chris: “I’m very excited by my role with the Connecting Country team. It’s a great opportunity to be working in the local area on the Yellow Box Woodland Project alongside the project partners, the North Central Catchment Management Authority, and also with a range of land managers, community groups, NGOs, other volunteers and supporters, and the key support organisations such as the federal Caring for our Country initiative and the Victorian Government Natural Resources Investment Program”.
