We’re pleased to announce Caitlin Griffith as our new Project Manager for Victoria! Caitlin has over 25 years’ experience working across nature conservation, community engagement and leadership. Her background spans on-ground conservation, plant surveys and ecological monitoring, alongside advocacy, citizen science and program development.
Caitlin loves working at the interface of science, community and land management—designing education resources, running workshops with scientists and practitioners, and supporting advocacy for habitat protection. She is passionate about making ecological knowledge accessible and empowering communities to take action for nature.
Caitlin has always had a passion for watching wildflowers emerge with a particular love for the showy pea flowers and orchids.
She holds a Bachelor of Science in Conservation Biology and Ecology and a Graduate Certificate in Social Ecology.
Caitlin will be coordinating two one-day workshops on threatened flora conservation – one in Horsham on Wednesday 19 August and one in Orbost on Wednesday 2 September 2026 – as well as a two-day Victorian threatened flora conservation conference planned for Melbourne in November, as part of the “Preventing the extinction of Victoria’s threatened flora” project.
