Pip Walsh joined ANPC late last year as the Myrtle Rust Recovery Action Coordinator. Pip has over 30 years’ experience in the not-for-profit sector working in senior roles at WWF, Greening Australia and Bush Heritage. Since 2016 Pip has specialised in working with project teams to develop, implement and improve conservation and community projects using the Open Standards for Conservation.
Pip will head our new project funded by the Australian Government under the Saving Native Species program, which will coordinate recovery actions over 18 months for four Critically Endangered plants at risk of near-term extinction or serious decline due to the exotic fungal disease Myrtle Rust: Native Guava (Rhodomyrtus psidioides); Angle-stemmed Myrtle (Gossia gonoclada); Scrub Turpentine (Rhodamnia rubescens) and Smooth Scrub Turpentine (Rhodamnia maideniana).

In her spare time Pip is a keen bushwalker, still potters around a soccer field and gets her hands dirty with Narrowneck Bushcare group.
This project is supported by funding from the Australian Government.
