Project Management and Grant Writing Workshop with Jessica Leck
-
UNE Centre, Tamworth
This event will be an interactive workshop aimed at helping groups get the right start on a project from inception through to grant
application and successful delivery. We would cover project development, planning, budgeting, approaching partners for support and
considerations for the grant writing process. I would provide templates for key steps in this process which have served me well in my
applications and project management.
Participants will get the most out of this interactive workshop if they come prepared to discuss solutions for an issue or project of
interest to them.
Sorry, you've missed the RSVP deadline for this event.

Sprouting Joy This Festive Season: Nursery News & Holiday Updates
As the weather warms up and Christmas approaches, the nursery has been reasonably quiet this past month. However, behind the scenes, we're
in full propagation mode, preparing to meet the demand for what we expect to be a very busy autumn season.
Over the Christmas period, Julie will be taking some well-earned leave, but Paul will still be on deck to keep things running smoothly. The
nursery will only be closed on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, so you can still pop in during the festive season.
Looking for a unique last-minute Christmas gift or tree? We’ve been selling small native Christmas trees, perfect for adding a touch of
nature to your celebrations. They’re available for just $25.00 each, but stock is limited, so don’t wait too long. Visit us this Friday or
Monday to grab yours before they’re gone!
We’d also like to take this opportunity to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our incredible volunteers. Your
dedication and hard work throughout the year make everything we do possible, and we are so grateful for your support.
From all of us at the nursery, we wish you a safe and happy holiday season. See you soon!

Water Symposium - SAVE THE DATE
The symposium will involve brief presentations on the issues from the perspective of our local governments, agriculture and industry and
others, and discussions of key issues which will provide the opportunity for different stakeholders to be heard, and for proposals for
strategies and initiatives to be proposed and examined.
Following these discussions, we will seek consensus on specific initiatives to be pursued.
Our members often say that when you become part of Landcare, you’re not just joining a group, you’re becoming part of a family. The concept
is so compatible with Australian culture it’s hard not to get involved! By becoming a TRLA member, you’ll be supporting our work, learning
new skills, becoming part of the solution, and helping to make a difference for the future.
