Welcome to the July edition of Murrumbidgee Landcare’s e-news!
It is an exciting month, with a huge selection of events on offer. National Tree Day is at the end of July, and there are events being held at Tumut [1], Hay [2], Leeton [3] and Wagga [4] to celebrate this.
There are some great opportunities available for rural women, including the “Are you Board Room ready? [5]” breakfast workshop at Deniliquin, and the “Think Big” Rural Women program. [6]
There are also opportunities for the kids, including the Threatened Species Children's Art Competition [7], and a fabulous “Frogs 'n logs” spotlighting evening at Corowa [8].
Of course there are plenty more activities, including field days, workshops, conferences and grants, so take the time to read through the newsletter and pick out those that appeal to you!
If you would like more information on anything, or would like to talk to someone about Landcare in your region, please feel free to contact your Local Landcare Coordinator [9] or the Murrumbidgee Landcare office [10].
