Additional:
Member (Sustainable land management, agroforestry) - Centre for Sustainable Farming Systems
I am an Associate Professor in Ecosystem Management at UNE where I teach park and wildland management, sustainable land management, and agroforestry at senior undergraduate and postgraduate level.
I also co-teach Australasian terrestrial ecology at undergraduate level, and supervise a range of research postgraduates and 4th year project students in terrestrial ecology, vegetation and ecosystem management, sustainable farming and protected area and nature conservation projects.
My current research interests include the nature and value of ecosystem services; profitable bio-diverse wool production systems; the value, role and enhancement of indigenous biodiversity in production landscapes; tree-grass interactions; fire management for nature conservation in wilderness areas; and environmental dispute resolution. I am a Director of UNE's Centre for Environmental Dispute Resolution, and part of my time is committed to the Australian Cotton Cooperative Research Centre, based in Narrabri.
I am particularly interested in how governments, public and private organizations and the community work together to further integrated balanced resource management and planning at local and regional scales. I currently represent the Ecological Society of Australia on the Narrabri-Coonabarabran-Coolah Regional Vegetation Committee, and am a member of the Northern Tablelands Regional Advisory Committee for the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service.
