Adrian Whitehead
Adrian has campaigned on environment issues since 1988. His early campaigning on the issue of native forest logging was with the East Gippsland Coalition and Environment Victoria. Later he helped found the Otway Ranges Environment Network (OREN) whose campaign resulted in the creation of the Great Otway National Park. Adrian has also played roles in stopping the Stone Haven Power plant near Geelong and helping the marine park campaign in his local region, before founding futurenergy.org with Matthew Wright. His most recent success was running a campaign to stop the Naas valley Dam in the ACT. Adrian recently left a full time Climate Change Campaign position in Canberra to return to Melbourne to lead the Beyond Zero Emission Campaign. Adrian holds a BSc from Melbourne University and a Graduate Diploma in Environmental Management from Deakin. His key activities are strategic planning, coordination and public outreach. Adrian co-ordinates and administers BZE.
