Strategic Planning
In February 2025 we had a great couple of days welcoming our management committee and interstate staff to Canberra to attend an in-person strategic planning workshop at the Australian National Botanic Gardens. As a collective, we made a lot of progress on our strategic focus and organisational aims for the next 5 and 10 years.
We had some lively and creative discussions primarily centred around:
- Engagement – how we can be influential and catalyse support for plant conservation in Australia.
- Knowledge – how to further our facilitation of knowledge exchange and further develop best practice guidelines.
- Longevity – how we can increase awareness and income to drive project delivery and organisational sustainability.
At the workshop, we finalised the following:
Who we are
We are the national network of people, research and action for plant conservation.
Our Vision is to secure Australia’s rich native plant diversity.
Our Mission is to promote and develop plant conservation in Australia.
