Greg became the director of Bonorong at 25 years of age, and since then has transformed it from a tourist park into a social enterprise - a Sanctuary for conservation excellence with a focus on programs to rescue, rehabilitate and release wildlife. Years of caring for injured and orphaned wildlife allowed Greg to develop the knowledge and skills needed to create the ideal Sanctuary for these creatures to recover in.
Greg and the team at Bonorong set up the first 24-hour statewide wildlife rescue service and dedicated wildlife hospital in Tasmania's history. His work to protect Tasmania's unique wildlife won him the Young Tasmanian Australian of the Year Award.
These services have grown every year and see over 15,000 animals a year needing the assistance of the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary Team.
Greg has won other awards for his work. These include; the Southern Cross Young Achiever Award for Environment, the Pride Of Australia Award for Environment, the Brighton Citizen of the Year Award, and the Tourism Minister's Young Achievement Award.
