Threatened Flora and Vegetation Communities of the Darling Downs with Will Gibson

Will Gibson

Will is a locally based ecologist and environmental planner with a range of experience working for Councils and private environmental consultancies across Southern Queensland. Will leads a team of ecologists based in Toowoomba at Range Environmental Consultants and is passionate about balancing the needs of the environment we live in, conservation and the pressures of modern society. 

Since moving to Toowoomba in early 2021 Will has become a passionate advocate for the conservation, protection and management of the region's threatened plant and vegetation communities. Will's talk will provide an overview of the variety of flora species which have faced threatening processes across the region and how ecologists like himself manage these pressures and work to ensure their conservation with some local examples included. Will's talk will also discuss the value of citizen science and the important role that clubs like TFNC play in supporting knowledge of flora and fauna species distribution.
