Earlier this year, the Landcare NT team, met with long-time Landcarer Brian McWilliams at McMinns Lagoon Recreational Reserve. Brian has long had a love for McMinns Reserve, starting with the purchase of a block of land nearby to call home in the 1970’s. Shortly following, he became a steward for the site and gathered many other volunteers to help.
As the peak body for community Landcare in the Northern Territory, an important part of the organisations role is to represent, strengthen, support and grow the Northern Territory’s community Landcare movement. Landcare NT recently spent four days visiting with member groups and project partners in the Greater Darwin area. Madonna Wuttke (Executive Officer) and Sheree Bowman (Support Officer) had the opportunity to learn more about the work groups are doing, their achievements and challenges.
SAVE THE DATE (12 & 13 October) for this great opportunity. Landcare NT will be delivering a field day in Central Australia with the aim to improve capacity for conservation and land management for sustainable production and biodiversity on central Australian pastoral lands.
Landcare was very well represented at the Society of Ecological Restoration Australasia (SERA) Conference held in Darwin last week (10-13 May 2021). Landcare NT and three member groups delivered excellent presentations highlighting the achievements and challenges of the individual groups. The presentations were very well received and really made an impact, with much conversation following the sessions.
Landcare NT has recently been awarded $61,100 as part of the recent round of Smart Farms Small Grants.
