Led by CEO Stewart Christie, and overseen by a skills-based Board of Directors, we employ around 35 staff across the Wet Tropics region. Our passionate team includes on-ground staff delivering projects as well as support staff who provide expertise in GIS, communications, monitoring and evaluation and data management.

Our finance, human resources, project support and administration teams are based in Corporate Nature, a joint venture with our NQ NRM Alliance partners Cape York NRM and Northern Gulf NRMG.
