Hi Landcarer’s

The National Landcare Conference will take place from Tuesday 23 to Thursday 25 August, at the International Convention Centre, Darling Harbour, Sydney.

Last years conference was held online. If nothing else, covid has brought another level of technology for delivery of events. It was still a brilliant event, and we were fortunate to have some fabulous speakers. This year a virtual offer is still available, so you can interact from home.

This year’s event will again be hosted by Landcare champion and ABC TV presenter Costa Georgiadis, and the National Landcare Conference will bring landcarer’s together in person for the first time since 2018.

The comprehensive program includes seven field trips showcasing the diversity of Landcare in the Greater Sydney region, plus hear from over 100 speakers on the topics of environment and climate action, cultural land management, sustainable agriculture, emerging environmental markets, and much more! You may also like to attend the 2022 National Landcare Awards Gala Dinner.

The 2022 National Landcare Conference and 2022 National Landcare Awards will be live streamed and recorded, with speaker videos made available after the conference. You can register to attend the events IN SYDNEY or you can register as a VIRTUAL delegate and participate online for free.

Don’t forget that the next two National Parks Association walks are coming up in Goobang National Park.

On Tuesday, 26 July walkers will cover the Spring Creek Firetrail off Baldry-Peak Hill Road. Meet at Bushman’s Dam (corner Newell Hwy and Thomas Street Parkes) at 9.00am. This is an easy 5km walk with some off track
