stephanie cameron [Tamworth]<br />
Stephanie was born in Grafton. Her family moved<br />
to Sydney, then Gunnedah and finally to Tamworth<br />
in 1989 where she completed high school. In<br />
1992 Stephanie attended university and gained<br />
a Bachelor of Applied Science before returning to<br />
Tamworth in 1996. Stephanie co-owns East West<br />
EnviroAg where she is the Operations Manager.<br />
The company provides the opportunity for her<br />
to pursue her interest in science, mentor staff<br />
and interact with the agricultural community.<br />
Keen to put something back into the community,<br />
Stephanie joined the Tamworth Regional<br />
Landcare Association and was instrumental in<br />
the formation of the Tamworth Urban Landcare<br />
Group in 2008. She is the Secretary and organises<br />
many events such as tree planting along the<br />
Peel River. Stephanie’s husband Adrian and their<br />
children Rory and Davina, are also very active in<br />
these events. She strongly believes in mentoring<br />
her children to care about the environment and<br />
community they live in. Stephanie is Chairperson<br />
of the annual Sustainable Namoi Living Program<br />
Organising Committee. This Program encourages<br />
individuals, households and businesses to reduce<br />
their carbon footprint and live more sustainably.<br />
Recent highlights included an expo and associated<br />
regional events with more than 4000 people<br />
attending. Stephanie gains great satisfaction from<br />
participating in community environmental projects<br />
(which take up at least 10 hours a week on top<br />
of a full working week and family activities) and<br />
particularly mentoring new Landcare members.<br />
