GeoCatch appoints Busselton archaeologist as its new chair

GeoCatch has appointed a new chair person to its board. This comes as outgoing chair Dr Felicity Bradshaw has made the decision to retire from the board after seven years of continuous service, six of those as chair. “GeoCatch has given me the opportunity to develop everything I am passionate about, from critically endangered western ringtail possums, to the way we apply fertiliser throughout the catchment,” Dr Bradshaw said. “Everything I have learned I have taken home and applied.” “The GeoCatch programs have gone from strength to strength and are making a real difference in the Geographe Catchment.” The role of chair is being filled by archaeologist Vicky Winton. Mrs Winton is a keen gardener and consumer of local produce. She practises composting and has an interest in regenerative farming practices. “Geocatch runs so many important projects — there’s a way for everyone to get involved — from the upcoming possum first aid training to the Bay OK native verge program,” Mrs Winton said. “In the role of chair, I am excited to provide opportunities for all to connect and care for their local area and the water that underscores the health of our environment, business and community. “I am excited to work with the talented and hugely experienced board, staff and partners in delivering impactful projects that will continue to improve our environment, community and prospects into the future.”
