My name is Clara. For the last year and a half I was your secretary and occasional mushroom talk lady and I have stepped into very big shoes to try and fill the presidential vacancy for PCC. I work full-time at Gosford Hospital, however, I will try and do my best to help continue Meg’s amazing work she has been a fantastic mentor and friend and has always inspired me to do more. I am passionate about Permaculture, Animals, and the Environment. As a Medical Scientist, I also have an interest in creating a happier healthier Central Coast and ultimately less work for myself and my colleagues in the hospital.
I have a Facebook page called Claras Urban Mini Farm where you can see a bit more about me and my mushrooms, chickens, bees, quails, and bunnies.
Please reach out to me at president@permaculturecc.org.au or at the front with the badges when you come to gatherings! A massive thank you to everyone else who has put their hand up to volunteer or contribute in any way to a fantastic group. We’ve had a difficult few years and with more uncertainty to come, I’m so happy to see us all pull together and support each other. In 2019 I walked into a hall in Tuggerah to learn about saving a few seeds and now I feel like I have gained a whole ecosystem of friendships and knowledge. Hope to see you all soon!
