OCEANIA RANGERS – LAST CHANCE TO HAVE YOUR SAY!
Our two regional consultation surveys were due to close tomorrow, but we're extending the deadline to Monday 19 October to give everyone one final opportunity to contribute.
So far, we've received just 6 responses to the Blueprint Review and 5 to the Regional Structure survey.
We're hoping to hear from many more of you!
A considerable amount of volunteer time and effort is going into strengthening our regional ranger network, organising the upcoming Daintree Gathering, and creating opportunities for rangers across Oceania. But for this work to genuinely reflect the needs and priorities of our region, we need Ranger Associations and the people involved in our network to contribute their perspectives too.
These surveys are your opportunity to help determine what we focus on, how we work together, and how rangers across Oceania are represented.
📝 Please complete BOTH surveys:
🔹 Oceania Rangers 2030 – Blueprint Review
https://forms.gle/WtDgpUbijcJLLSY27
🔹 Oceania Regional Ranger Structure
https://forms.gle/wMv7gN9CFpcCnB6x8
📄 Each survey includes a link to its supporting discussion paper, explaining the background and options being considered.
📅 FINAL DEADLINE: Monday 19 October 2026
If you're responding on behalf of a Ranger Association or group, please share the surveys with your committee and contribute your collective views. Individual responses from those involved in CORA and regional ranger activities are also welcome.
We'll be bringing the feedback together ahead of the Oceania Regional Ranger Gathering, 26–28 October, where it will inform important discussions and decisions about our future.
🌿 A strong regional network needs more than a few people doing the work behind the scenes. It needs the voices, ideas and participation of the rangers it exists to support.
Please take a little time to contribute. Your perspective matters!

Please click on the attached link in this box and read the proposal before answering the questions below. What structure gives Oceania Rangers a representativevoice AND enough shared capacity to actually get things done? Is the model representative enough to belegitimate, simple enough to understand...
