Corowa has a strong Landcare presence thanks to Corowa District Landcare and the Murray Landcare Collective, a community alliance of agricultural, environmental and not-for-profit groups.
Organisers say Corowa, with diverse landscapes, from rivers, creeks and wetlands to box and red gum woodlands and mixed farming systems, provides the perfect backdrop for an event focused on celebrating and shaping the future of Landcare in NSW.
Landcare NSW chair, Gareth Johnston said the conference was an opportunity to celebrate the work of the Landcare community and to strengthen the partnerships that support the land, people, and the future.
“It’s also a moment for us to come together, learn from one another, and connect across the diverse landscapes we care for,” Mr Johnston said.
“At a time of significant environmental and community challenges, the way we show up for each other has never been more important.”
Local Land Services’ team leader, Marien Stark, said the conference would provide practical insights and foster collaboration across the state.
“It’s a great opportunity for anyone passionate about sustainability to connect with others and take-home ideas that make a difference,” Ms Stark said.
“Whether you’re a volunteer, a farmer, or part of an environmental group, this is your chance to learn, share and be inspired.”
Delivered in collaboration with Corowa District Landcare, Murray Local Land Services, and Landcare groups across the region, the event promises to be vibrant, inclusive and forward-thinking.
The conference is themed The Sum of It All and will be held on October 26-29.
