Eve Lazarus

Senior Environmental Consultant

I have been working as a professional in the field of natural resource management and biodiversity conservation for 15 years and am particularly passionate about working with land managers to deliver on-ground projects that increase landscape resilience. My favourite part of work is synthesising science into practice and working with the community to achieve practical outcomes. I believe strongly in a grass-roots, peer learning approach, working with people to identify problems and develop solutions. Building meaningful relationships with the community takes time and I feel very connected to the Derwent Valley and Central Highlands as a result of my work in this region. The projects that I am currently managing cover agricultural best practice, coordinated weed management, fire and flood recovery, revegetation and conservation projects, for example working to conserve Miena cider gum stands in the Central Highlands.

My happy places include spending summer holidays at our bush block on Flinders Island with family and friends, riding my motorbike and mountain bike, and talking big ideas with good people.
