Murrumbidgee Landcare e-news - October 2017

Welcome to the October edition of Murrumbidgee Landcare's e-news!

The 2017 NSW Landcare and LLS Conference is being held in Albury next week! If you haven’t already registered, get in now to make sure you don’t miss out. The NSW Landcare Award winners will be announced at the Conference dinner, and there are several nominees from the Riverina - we congratulate all our local Landcare Champions, and wish you the best of luck.

Details regarding the investment in Phase Two of the National Landcare Program have been released, with $1 billion to be delivered over the next five years. Find out about what is being funded, and be sure to have your say.

As usual, there are plenty of interesting events to get involved in, including a mental health workshop at Tarcutta, a Superb Parrot and Pygmy Perch bird walk at Booroowa, a seed collection and tree identification walk at Book Book, and a Rivers of Carbon bus tour at Yass. Plus lots more!

If you would like more information on anything, or would like to talk to someone about Landcare in your region, please feel free to contact your Local Landcare Coordinator or the Murrumbidgee Landcare office.
