We would especially like to thank all those people and organisations who contributed to developing this plan through providing advice, filling in surveys, attending forums, and making submissions. This plan would not have been possible without your involvement.
We acknowledge the NQ Dry Tropics Board for its continued support for the plan. We would like to thank Jesseca Carver for her tireless effort in drafting the plan, and we acknowledge the combined contribution of NQ Dry Tropics staff, in particular the planning, communication and information management teams.
