My name is Eleanor Pratt, and I am the new Executive Officer for the Landcare Association of South Australia (LASA). It is with great pleasure that I take on this role, as I have been aware of the great work done by local Landcare groups for as long as I can remember. As a bit of background on me, I have a PhD in marine biology from Flinders University and have recently been working in natural resource management in the Whitsundays, QLD. I have now returned to country SA and am living on my family farm near Blyth in the Mid North.
I will be travelling around the state during 2022 to meet with each Landscape Board and as many community groups as I possibly can, so keep an eye out for me! I am excited to learn about the environmental projects and initiatives being carried out by all of the community Landcare and Friends of Parks groups, partners, Traditional Owners and landholders around SA, and hear your thoughts about how we can make Landcare in SA bigger and better.
