Murrumbidgee Landcare e-news - April 2018

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

Murrumbidgee Landcare is currently very busy working to develop a strategic plan for Landcare in the Riverina - and we’d like to hear from you!

Landcare has been around in the Riverina since the early 1990s. Almost 30 years on, it is time to celebrate what has worked, identify priorities for moving forward and to set in place a plan for all stakeholders to work better together. The outcomes will be of enormous benefit for our region as we continue to work with many sectors of the community in natural resource management and agriculture.

So how can you get involved? We want to hear from everyone, whether you’re currently involved in Landcare or not! Here’s how you can have your say:

Attend a Focus Group: We’re holding a series of 2-hour focus group sessions, at Hay, Leeton, Murrumburrah, Adelong, Humula and Henty. All sessions will be held between 1 and 3 May, and will be 2 hours long with light refreshments provided. For more details, and to RSVP, click here

Complete the Online Survey: The survey is now open here. It only takes around 10 minutes to complete. The survey will close on 30 April.

As always, 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.
