Greg Greene
Catchment ManagementI was inspired to take a lead role on the Specialist Network as I wanted to advocate for the development of a national set of guiding principles for protecting drinking water source catchments, something I’m deeply passionate about. I also wanted to give something back to an industry that has provided me with many opportunities.
