Conserving, educating & empowering: Victorian National Parks Association

For our second Share the Knowledge session, Head of Philanthropy & Impact Louise Kuramoto catches up with Matt Ruchel, Executive Director at Victorian National Parks Association (VNPA).

In tracing a history of Victoria’s national parks and conservation reserves, Matt and Louise look at how far we’ve come and where the gaps remain. They also discuss the ways VNPA supports people of Victoria to engage in local conservation.

Listen in below to find out how you can get involved and support their important work.
