About the Guest Speakers
Elizabeth & Russell are a Central Victorian couple who purchased a Cassinia conservation property in 2025. With a background in zoology, Elizabeth has always been passionate about wildlife but it’s Russell who’s found a surprising joy in managing the land. The pair bring their on-the-ground experience into the reality of stewarding conservation land.
