Project Officer

Jenna grew up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and graduated with a Bachelor of Science Biological Sciences degree from the University of Calgary. She has always loved animals and nature and figured that biology would be a perfect place to start studying. Jenna didn’t come from an agricultural background, but since recently moving to her partner’s farm in Cranbrook, she has really enjoyed learning about this world. Before Jenna came to Australia, she worked in the oil and gas industry for an environmental service company, focusing on land remediation/reclamation and drilling waste management. Jenna loves that this position allows her to get involved in the community and continue doing what she enjoys doing, as well as helping to preserve the Great Southern region and it’s diversity.

Executive Officer

Agriculture is in her blood. Hilary was born and raised on a sheep and cattle property south of Mount Barker, and she combined this knowledge with her love for maths, completing a Bachelor of Commerce Accounting major to then work in a rural public practice accounting firm for ten years. While taking a short break from the workforce to raise her children Hilary has become more involved in the operations of her husband’s family farming enterprise and volunteering on committees for local community organisations.

Hilary brings a hands-on practical aspect to our team with her in-depth knowledge of agriculture, committee experience, and financial training. She is passionate about maintaining the natural assets to ensure they remain healthy and productive for future generations.
