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.

Queanbeyan Landcare have arranged a short stroll/walk on "The Poplars" grassland this coming Sunday, 20 November,  to view rich native wildflowers and woodlands.  This is private property, however, the Larcombe family has given permission for this.

Join Tanya Noakes for a guided walk deep in the wilds of urban Queanbeyan on a Platypus Spotting Walk on Saturday 3 September 2011.

Meet Tanya at the Q Performing Arts Centre, Queanbeyan for a 5pm start. No bookings required.
