Who we are / Nature nerds reimagining how you experience the outdoors.
Outdoor adventures that leave you, and the planet, better off...
​
It all started with a frog. Well, a few frogs, some coral, and a lot of dirt under my fingernails.
​
Back at university, I was studying biology and immersed in ecology, evolution, and the wonders of our natural environment. I snorkelled off a remote research island on the Great Barrier Reef. I searched for frogs by torchlight in the Northern Territory. My hands dirty and heart full, working alongside scientists who were out to understand and protect the natural world. That feeling of contributing to something bigger than myself was electric.
That’s where the seed for ConserVentures was planted.
​
Since then, I’ve earned a Bachelor of Science majoring in biology and completed Honours in evolutionary ecology. I’ve worked with some of the world’s largest companies to help them face one of the biggest challenges of our time: biodiversity loss. I’ve been a 1 Million Women Ambassador for the Reef, and co-founded Xylo Systems, a biodiversity intelligence startup helping people make smarter, data-driven decisions for nature.
But through all of that, what I kept coming back to was this: People protect what they love, and they love what they truly connect with.
We host outdoor adventures that reconnect you to nature and to a likeminded community of curious, kind-hearted, action-taking people. We participate in citizen science and often partner with real conservation organisations so that you’re not just hiking and camping (although there’s plenty of that too) but also helping restore it for future generations.
​
And for those who want to explore nature from the inside out, we also offer creative and reflective workshops, from nature journaling and art, to mindfulness and yoga in the wild. These are optional, always welcoming, and incredibly grounding. Because nature connection isn’t just physical, it’s emotional, cultural, and spiritual.
We know how important it is to feel part of something. That’s why our trips are built to foster genuine connection: to place, to purpose, and to people. It’s not just an escape, it’s a return.
So if you’re looking for an adventure that fills your lungs, stretches your mind, and strengthens your hope for the planet, this is your invitation.
Let’s explore, give back and protect what we love.

Our Values / How and why we operate
We acknowledge the acceleration of human development and desire for growth which have put our ecosystems, and by extension us, at risk of collapse. We can no longer build and support institutions which prioritise profit over the planet and therefore intend to do what’s right, over what’s lucrative. As a company, we strive to lead the shift to a new paradigm where people no longer see themselves as ‘in’ the environment but rather, a part of it. We are stewards of the land, and measure our success by the number of people reconnected to land and ecosystems protected.
The following company values are to be embodied by our team and demonstrated to our travellers.
-
Community & Connection - We support one another through challenges and victories and interact with each other as friends and fellow humans, rather than co-workers. We treat everyone equally and foster an inclusive and collaborative environment for all.
-
Respect & Honesty - We treat others' time as valuable, and communicate truthfully and directly.
-
Passion & Determination - We share the company’s vision for the future and do everything in our power to actualise it.
-
Accountable & Responsible - As a company, we are accountable for our impact on our customers and the planet. Similarly, as individuals we hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards and fulfill our responsibilities to the best of our ability.
-
Sustainable & Regenerative - We ensure to do no harm to people or the planet. We strive to be regenerative and planet-positive in everything we do as individuals and as a company.
-
Independent & Proactive - We are free-thinkers who share and act based on what we believe is right. We are grassroots activists campaigning for a world that aligns with our values and mission.
