Volunteer at Capricorn
Conservation Council
Capricorn
Conservation
Council depends on volunteers, who
contribute in a variety
of
capacities. Here
are some of the ways that you can help:
-
Committee
Member
- All of our management committee are volunteers. Most of
them have
full time jobs, but are able to give a few hours per week to set
priorities and give overall direction. Committee members are elected at
the AGM in June each year.
-
Concerned Member
- If you are interested in learning about the variety of
issues
that CCC deals with, you can be included in the committee
members'
email list, and contribute to the discussion and policy development.
-
Single Issue advocate,
(research)
- Use your interest in a particular environmental issue to delve into
the background and produce valuable information for CCC.
-
Single Issue advocate,
(representative)
- If you wish to take the research role further, there is an
opportunity to be nominated
by the committee to be CCC's spokesperson on that issue.
-
Letter writer
- There is always a great need for issues to be brought to public
attention and a good way is via 'letters to the editor' in the local
newspaper.
-
Project proponent
- Do you have an idea for an environmental
project? We don't have any magic sources of funding
but project applications to funding bodies often have a better
chance of acceptance if promoted under the CCC
banner as a community exercise rather than an individual effort.
However all successful projects need a "driver" to take them from start
to finish.
-
Event Organiser
- From time to time CCC runs events such as the World Environment Day,
Walk Against Warming, etc. Volunteers to help
with these events. Let the coordinator know that you would
like
to be involved.

Under
Water' which is sponsored by the Fitzroy Basin Association and

local volunteers in scientific reef mapping and monitoring. Volunteers
must have a minimum of PADI Rescue diver certification, Elements of

short notice. If this is you, contact Dr Alison Jones
