Sam Burges
Growing up in a multigenerational farming family in the Wheatbelt, I witnessed firsthand the highs and lows of changing climates and land management practices. Each generation has faced its own unique challenges in agriculture, and I believe we are now at a pivotal moment, one that will shape Australia’s land management legacy for decades to come.
I believe actions speak louder than words. Before advocating for change, I reflect on my own impact and strive to lead by example in my personal life.
In my role in the NRM sector, I focus on the importance of healthy, resilient landscapes that can support future generations of farmers and First Nations peoples who are deeply connected to the rangelands.
