Growing up in Canberra, the ‘bush capital’ with its wonderful green spaces, as well as her family’s love of the outdoors, fostered an interest in the environment. Jo has a Bachelor of Science in Resource and Environmental Management from ANU which was followed by a long and varied career with the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, working as an environmental planner, ranger, team leader and manager in amazing locations such as Kosciuszko National Park, Yarrangobilly Caves and South East Forests and Wadbilliga National Parks.
Jo commenced as the Network Facilitator with Wodonga Urban Landcare Network in January 2022 and is loving supporting volunteers and working with the community on land management and environmental issues in the Wodonga municipality as well as working on their North East Victorian farm.
