Workshop

ACT Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander , Cultural Centre, 245 Lady Denman Drive, Yarramundi Reach, ACT

Do you work or volunteer in the environment, NRM, Landcare or sustainability sectors? Do you spend some, or a lot of your time writing grants applications or supporting others to do so? Then this workshop is for you. Become a sophisticated, successful grant seeker and generate more income for your organisation.

Having received some good interest from people at the workshop in Bungendore on 1 December, particularly from around Carwoola - Captain's Flat - Hoskinstown, the project team is now planning to hold the first MLC workshop in this area.

The details for the workshop are not yet finalised, but at this stage expect a 1-day workshop in the Captains Flat valley (ideally on the property of an interested landholder) in late April or early May. The workshop will help land managers to get a better understanding of native vegetation on their property, and also to look at managing it in the context of its connectivity to surrounding patches, through aerial photos and maps (which we will provide for all attendees) of native vegetation types across the landscape around their individual properties. There will also be sessions on Indigenous land management principles, and how people can begin to apply these on their property, if they are interested.

Venue to be confirmed (RSVP by Friday 17th February)

(The location of this field day will depend on the locale of the majority of the particpants.)
