Thank you to our members who attended the AGM on April 27th, or sent in proxies, we achieved a healthy quorum.

Greg Siepen (President) and Ian Ferguson (Treasurer) presented the highlights of 2021:

We had a variety of speakers throughout the year, bushcare bees at the bottom and top of the mountain, several children's holiday activities, visits by Chapel Hill State School preps, nest box workshop and grants delivering new nest boxes/ weather station, the creative Art Show display, a field trip for WWII history buffs, the 2022 Wild West Calendar and lastly a spotlightling and moth evening in December. These offerings are for the 100+ members who support THECA and make us a community hub. These activities would not be possible without the help of our volunteers, we always welcome newcomers (especially a Newsletter editor) :-)

Congratulations to Dawn Muir, Don Sands and Lyn Cole who are now Life Members, contributing so much to THECA over the years as dedicated volunteers.

We farewelled Margaret Palmer who has been the Secretary and Newsletter editor for so many years. Her editorial skills, calm approach and community spirit will be truly missed. We wish her happiness pursuing other interests.

After the AGM we enjoyed an excellent talk by Genevieve Deaconos from the Australian Wildlife Conservancy, taking us on a virtual tour of the properties they manage throughout Australia. 

The questions at the end were an indication of the high level of engagement with the topic. 

Please join us in making 2022 even better!
