Libby McCutchan has helped transform a weed-infested suburban park into a thriving native woodland oasis, proving the power of community-led conservation. As coordinator of the Griffith Woodland Volunteer Group, Libby has driven habitat restoration, native planting and biodiversity protection, including support for the nationally vulnerable Golden Sun Moth. Her practical leadership, persistence and ability to turn local concern into community pride have created a valued neighbourhood hub for education, volunteering and wildlife. Libby’s work is a compelling example of grassroots landcare delivering lasting environmental and social impact.
