The
Tasmanian Conservation Trust Inc is a voluntary non-profit organisation
working on conservation issues, especially those that directly
affect Tasmania.
The
TCT was formed in 1968 to ensure that land, water and other resources are used
with wisdom and foresight, and that competing demands for these are resolved in
a rational and environmentally responsible manner. It aims to foster and assist
in the conservation of flora, fauna and important natural, archaeological and
cultural features of Tasmania.
The
Trust has over 400 members and an elected council oversees its
operations, while day-to-day activities and executive decisions
are managed by the CEO, Christian Bell. The office, located in
Hobart, is staffed during normal business hours. Most employees
are part-time but contribute voluntary time as well. They bring
a great deal of experience, dedication and enthusiasm to a vital
and demanding area of work. The TCT also hosts the Tasmanian coordinator
of the National Threatened Species Network.
The
TCT welcomes volunteer workers and new members, and will always to try to assist
anyone with concerns relating to the environment. You
can help protect our unique island by becoming a member, participating in working
groups and donating time or money to our campaigns. Information
about the Trust and its activities, as well as current environmental issues, is
regularly published in our newsletter, the Tasmanian Conservationist, and at this
web site. |
