National Landcare award to Louise Hufton, Harden-Murrumburrah Landcare

Congratulations to Riverina LLS employee Louise Hufton who was awarded the National Landcare Facilitator/Coordinator Award at the recent National Landcare Awards held in Melbourne.

The Facilitator/Coordinator Award celebrates the achievements of individuals that make a valuable contribution to the land where they live and work. Louise was acknowledged in her role as coordinator for the Harden Murrumburrah Landcare Group, for inspiring members and facilitating change for more than 20 years.

Louise's acheivements working with the Harden-Murrumburrah Landcare group provide a stand out example of what can be achieved if a Landcare group is resourced and supported to engage in community environmental and sustainable agriculture acitivies. 

Murrumbidgee Landcare Inc has long argued for the same level of support in the form of paid coordinators for the other Landcare groups in our region.
