It would be great if logo designs and selection of a new name (if
thats the way it goes) also takes into account that TPAG is a WILDCARE
Inc group - that is - its a part of WILDCARE inc (technically a
"Branch" of WILDCARE), hence WILDCARE applying for and receiving the
funds from WWF and TSN to establish the group. The WILDCARE logo
doesn't need to be integrated into a group logo but it would be good
to see the two logogs associated with each other as much as possible.
Apart from recognising the numerous support services that WILDCARE
provides to its groups, an association between the "cause" (threatened
plants) and WILDCARE will be useful when WILDCARE goes a-hunting for
related sponsorship and donations.
Cheers

Hi,
I don't agree with this! Keep our own autonomy. Michael Swanton.

Hi Michael,
TPAG was originally established as a Wildcare group. The fact that we
come under their umbrella (along with a lot of other groups) makes day-
to-day group management a lot easier. For example, one of the main
advantages of being a Wildcare group is being covered by their
insurance policy. Wildcare can also provide small grants to groups,
which may be useful for future tpag activities. It is also useful to
access volunteers, who join Wildcare and find out about TPAG through
their website. We can have an independent logo, but it is important
to include the Wildcare logo on our brochures and publications as
well.
There may be situations where the group’s autonomy may be compromised,
but I can’t think of any examples apart from being overtly political.
The aims and objectives of the group, which were agreed upon at a
meeting chaired by Catriona, have unfortunately been lost somewhere in
the change over. However I believe they were to contribute to
practical conservation measures, rather than lobbying. Overall, I
think being under the Wildcare umbrella has far more benefits than
negatives, but thanks for opening up the discussion and if anyone else
has any further concerns feel free to voice them.
Cheers,
Jenny
PS. I had a chat to some of the bush regeneration workers on New Town
Rivulet the other day, looks like some great work going on!
