Gabriel Anderson

Hunter Regional Coordinator

Gabe has been involved in environmental and social change movements from an early age when he was taken along to forest blockades by his parents in a backpack. His upbringing on a community in the bush has given him a strong sense of connection with the natural environment. He established his own native nursery and at age 14 founded a youth environment group which worked on a range of campaigns from tree planting and restoration to awareness raising. In particular running two all-youth environmental education camps – by youth, for youth. After High School Gabe’s passion for the environment led him to the Australian National University in Canberra where he studied Resource and Environmental Management from 1998 to 2001. In 2003 Gabe began working with OzGREEN. Most recently this has involved coordinating OzGREEN headline programs in towns and regional areas in the Northern Territory, South Australia, Western NSW and Tasmania. Gabe is now based in Newcastle and is OzGREEN facilitator for the Hunter Valley Great Eastern Ranges Initiative - an exciting biodiversity corridor project which aims to connect the Snowy Mountains to the Atherton tablelands providing a corridor for species movement and climate change resilience

Kathryn McCabe

Sydney Regional Coordinator

Kathryn is a facilitator and program coordinator with OzGREEN. She is passionate about living lightly, but fully, and willing to give all sorts of funky things a go, from yoga to drama to free-cycling. Kathryn found her calling as a facilitator of change through a Masters degree in Social Ecology and it was there that she first came across OzGREEN and their programs. After participating in OzGREEN’s Youth LEAD workshop, Kathryn realised that for many years she had been painstakingly searching for ways to contribute something meaningful to the many social and environmental issues she was concerned about but only ever ending up feeling more overwhelmed and hopeless than before. Participating and working with OzGREEN has given her the tools to clarify exactly how she can bring the best to the situation as she sees it, and more often than not that involves a killer mix of her native Irish humour, dedicated passion and heart warming empathy. Its pretty hard not to be inspired when Kathryn is involved!

Angela Baker

Albury Regional Coordinator

Angela Baker is the Albury and region program coordinator for OzGREEN. She has been working in environmental education and for non-profit environment groups since 2002 and is totally committed to supporting the amazing groups and individuals that cross her path to become sustainability leaders and change makers. Having experienced her own trials and tribulations along the way, Angela knows what it is like to feel overwhelmed and burnt out by the challenges we face, but working and participating with OzGREEN programs has given her the skills and the strength needed to explore her own path of sustainability. This has included an amazing 14 month overland trip from Australia to India (ie not flying) as an expression of her commitment to minimise her ecological footprint while expanding her horizons.

Wendi Wettin

Office Manager (BA Psychology)

Wendi is originally from the Land of Enchantment, New Mexico, in the United States of America. She has a degree in Psychology and Sociology and, after a career spent mostly in mental health, she arrived in Australia in 2003, looking for a new way to live and a desire to become a part of the fabric of a land she had grown to love. She came to realize her strengths were in taking care of others, and in 2008 she came to OzGREEN to take care of those who were willingly changing the world. The opportunities provided by working with and for such motivated and inspiring individuals has turned a job into a calling. Through the workshops, programs and daily activities, she has met some wonderful Australians who are changing the world, day by day and is constantly in awe of what individuals who are willing to make a difference can achieve. It has inspired her to become an active community member and an advocate for the Earth we all share.
