“As I was through all these beautiful beautiful places, I started noticing all the problems alpine areas are facing – climate change, invasive species. They have really delicate ecosystems and I just decided that was something I wanted to do something about, so I signed up for my degree in the hopes of going into protected area management.” Clay is a Bachelor of Environmental Science and Management student at Charles Sturt and a New Colombo scholar who works for the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital and has a passion for area protection of alpine environments.
