Border-Rivers Gwydir Invasive Species Planning
A series of workshops are planned on Invasive species (weed and pest animals) issues in the Tenterfield and surrounding areas, including feral animal control and love grass management. These are part of a larger catchment-wide planning process, gathering landholder feedback for the identification and prioritisation of invasive species. These should run during September and October. Stay tuned for further information.
Finding Landcare's Champions!
The peak body for Landcare in the North of the State, the New England North West Network Chairs has decided the local ‘Landcare Champions’ for the Landcare and Border Rivers-Gwydir CMA Regional Awards.
Tenterfield Shire Council has been named as the "Local Council Landcare Champion" for 2009. This award recognises 13 years of fantastic support from TSC, providing and looking after our office in Martin Street, Tenterfield. Council has also partnered with Landcare in a number of important weed eradication projects throughout the area. We would like to thank the councillors and staff for their on-going support of Granite Borders Landcare.
Congratulations are also due to the Tenterfield Naturalists, who were named runners-up in the Community Groups and Urban Landcare categories. This is again worthy recognition of a group that has achieved so much. We would like to acknowledge our other nominees, The Border Landcare Organic Group, Rex Maddocks and Jane I'ons, Rob and Cath Wheatley and St Josephs Primary School. Your contributions to Natural Resource Management in our area are invaluable. Keep up the good work.
