Julie Palmer
LCC Project Officer
I initially gained a Bachelor of Arts ( Fine Arts) before retraining in the environment field, gaining my Diploma in Natural Resource Management before achieving a Bachelor of Environmental Science majoring in Catchment Management, from Charles Sturt University in 2010. My area of expertise and where my passion lays is within the area of rural land management, or more specifically biodiversity conservation on farms, working with landholders to conserve the natural environment /areas of cultural significance within a farming system, maintaining a balance between conservation and economic outcomes and learning about the barriers to changes of practice. I enjoy community engagement activities being able to use my creative background to communicate the message of environmental protection to the community. I have acquired 13 years of professional working experience in the industry, being based in several eastern states of Australia before coming to Western Australia five years ago. I also gained invaluable life experience from my upbringing on my families’ super fine wool and beef property.

Chris Howe
LCC Project Officer
I have a keen interest in wildlife ecology and bush regeneration.
I have been with the LCC since April 2015 and I’m really enjoying the opportunity to work with community to achieve successful on-ground results in biodiversity conservation within our catchment. Recent past roles include restoration and environmental monitoring in the mining sector, as well as project work with Greening Australia; I have a diverse background in environmental management at an on-ground, practical level as well as the project management level.
I am very excited to offer my skills and knowledge to enhance the capability of community volunteers working in the environment. I’m keen on maintaining a good scientific approach to our work, information gathering and monitoring into the future to inform decision making.
