Landcare NT News

Thursday 24th November 2022 at Melaleuca Australia, 24 McLachlan Street, Darwin or online via Teams. 5:30PM - Landcarer Networking, 7:00PM - Annual General Meeting.

Landcarers from across the Northern Territory had a great time at the National Landcare Conference in Sydney from the 23rd-25th August. Hosted by Costa Georgiadis, this event brought together Landcarers from across the country doing great things for the environment and the community in their local areas.

​Over 60 attendees participated in the Sustainable Land Management Field Days held at the Aileron Racecourse and on Aileron Station, 130 km north of Alice Springs, NT, on the 12th and 13th of October. Land resource managers including pastoralists, experts from both government and industry, land council representatives and miners united to learn about sustainable land management in the central Australian rangelands.

​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.
