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.

Why Soil Microbes Run the Underground Economy - By Dr Aurelie Quade
Do you know what the Euro, the Australian dollar, the Yen, the British pound and the Dirham have in common with soil carbon, total carbon,
organic carbon, recalcitrant carbon and labile carbon? They are all forms of currency.
“Soil microbes are not some benevolent gifts from nature. They are genius economists, not trading in dollars, but in carbon.”
We are excited to announce the recipients of our 2026 Small Grants Program, with over $21,000 awarded to support local environmental and
community initiatives across the region.
This year’s program attracted a strong and diverse range of applications from schools, Landcare groups and community organisations. The
quality of submissions was outstanding, reflecting the passion and commitment of our community to improving the environment, building
resilience and strengthening local connections.
