ANDREW MARSHALL Phone/fax: (H) 9845 1081 E-mail: marshall@omninet.net.au "I have lived and farmed in the catchment for 33 years where we have a beef and horticultural enterprise. I have always loved the Australian bush; soon after we purchased our property in 1971, I began a program of fencing off all the remnant vegetation and creek lines as well as planting more trees and developing shelter belts. Bush is such a valuable asset and essential for the future health of our land, flora and fauna. I enjoy being involved with trying to preserve all facets of the Torbay Catchment so that we and future generations can all enjoy living in this wonderful area."
Andrew was elected as Deputy Chair of the Torbay Catchment Group in 1999, and Chairperson since 2002. Upon retirement of John Simpson from the Watershed Torbay community steering committee, Andrew has taken on the role of Chair from March 2004, in addition to his role with the TCG.
