Dr Josie Kelman

Managing Director / Senior Environmental Consultant

A principal ecologist with 25+ years’ expertise across flora and fauna, specialising in botany and vegetation management, Josies focus includes Tasmanian vegetation communities—particularly south-eastern ecosystems and Buttongrass moorlands.  Josie has contributed significantly to conserving threatened species such as the Wedge-tailed Eagle and Tasmanian Devil, she holds a PhD in environmental management, monitoring and evaluation, and has led complex projects under tight regulatory and budgetary conditions.

After a decade as Managing Director of Enviro-dynamics, her strategic, solutions-focused leadership is renowned, supported by extensive experience in project management, business planning and team development across environmental and agricultural sectors. A skilled facilitator and communicator, she is well regarded for community engagement and stakeholder consultation. Technical strengths include GIS and ecological modelling, biostatistics and financial oversight—making Josie a dynamic, trusted leader in environmental consulting.

I’m a botanist and vegetation-management specialist who’s delivered programs across Queensland and Tasmania, working closely with farming communities—especially in pastoral systems. I love the contrasts: the hush of remote country, spirited debate around a meeting table, a quick blast on the motorcycle, and, yes, frocking up for a night at the theatre.
