Project Co-ordinator, South West Area Ecoregion Biodiversity.
It is often said that people are either cat people or dog people. Not Helena, she is a plant person. In 2006 she walked away from a comfortable government job in Canberra and set up home in South West Australia. Why? For the flora.
“South West Australian vegetation is so incredibly interesting and exciting, but most of the people who live here just don’t realise the beauty and importance of what they’ve got on their doorstep, or in their back paddock,” Helena said.
An hour with Helena in a piece of remnant bushland would convince any Western Australian landholder that they are stewards of the most amazing patch of land in the world.
