Mr Sattler graduated from Gatton in 1972 with a Bachelor of Applied Science, and worked with the Queensland government before joining the Queensland National Parks and Wildlife Service as a conservation planner.
In his 2014 book Five Million Hectares – A Conservation Memoir 1972-2008, Mr Sattler provides his thoughts on the importance of national parks.
In the book, Mr Sattler describes his four years on the Gatton campus as, “the best years of my life, a sentiment readily echoed by my college mates”.
