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.

Have Your Say on Native Vegetation Management in NSW
The NSW Government is proposing changes to the Land Management (Native Vegetation) Code 2018, and now’s your chance to
have input.
The Code plays a key role in supporting landholders to manage their land productively, while also balancing biodiversity conservation across
private rural land in NSW. The proposed amendments aim to strengthen environmental protections and deliver on commitments
made under the NSW Plan for Nature.
🗣 Community input is vital. A Discussion Paper has been released to guide your feedback, and all members of the public are
invited to make a submission.

Students Engage with Country, Culture and Community through Bush to Bowl
A memorable day unfolded at Duri Hall last Thursday during the ‘Bush to Bowl’ event, proudly hosted by Tamworth Regional Landcare
Association and supported by the Tamworth Aboriginal Lands Council and the Warrumbungle Environmental Education Centre.
The Campfire Gathering at Boonalla Aboriginal Area on Gamilaroi Country was a truly meaningful day of connection, learning,
and reflection. Coordinators from across the northwest came together in a culturally safe and welcoming space to build relationships, share
stories, and strengthen partnerships with the Aboriginal community.
The day began with a moving Acknowledgement of Country, followed by powerful storytelling that invited everyone to reflect on their own
connection to place. Through open and respectful conversations, we explored our experiences in Landcare and the importance of Aboriginal
partnerships in our shared work caring for Country.
Lunch provided the perfect opportunity to relax, share a yarn, and deepen our connections. In the afternoon, Landcare staff engaged in a
robust and honest discussion about what Aboriginal partnerships mean in practice, before ending the day with a quiet reflection and personal
commitment to Country.
Erosion control with rock bags
North West Local Land Services Extension officer Craig Pullman invited Landcare Coordinators to view the application of erosion control
Rockbags at a property west of Barraba on 29th May 2025.
These flexible geotextile bags filled with rocks, are increasingly used for creek erosion control. They are environmentally friendly,
being made from non-toxic, recycled plastic, and are permeable to water and suitable for fish and wildlife habitats.
The site was a narrow creek bed with a high eroded bank requiring stabilisation.
Down to Earth: Conversation, Collaboration & Technology
Hosted by Landcare Australia and FarmLab
Down to Earth is a 2-day immersive experience for anyone connected
to the agrifood supply chain, from producers, founders, supply chain leads and sustainability managers to government reps, researchers, and
investors. If carbon is on your radar (or in your ESG report), this is your cue to head to Armidale.

Landcare Learnings Recap – Spotlight on Cacti with Debi Bancroft
On Tuesday night, May 20, the Tamworth Regional Landcare Association (TRLA) hosted another great Landcare Learnings session – this time with
special guest Debi Bancroft, Harrisia Cactus Project Officer.
Debi delivered a fascinating and informative talk on invasive cacti in Australia, shedding light on a growing issue many of us might not
know much about. Did you know there are no native cacti species in Australia? Every cactus you see here has been introduced – and some have
become serious threats to our landscapes.
Deb, who came armed with (safely contained!) cactus samples, walked us through: How to spot and identify invasive cacti Which emerging
cactus species to keep an eye on The origins and spread of these plants across Australia Why reporting and early action is essential Our
responsibilities as landholders and community members to prevent their spread
Her engaging and practical presentation left everyone better equipped to recognise, report, and respond to cactus incursions.
A huge thank you to Debi for sharing her knowledge – and to everyone who joined us for another evening of learning and connection.
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.
Did you know (TRLA) run an Annual Small Grants program for Landcare activities connected to the Tamworth region.
Volunteer Landcare and Grassroots Community groups can apply up to $2,500 for activities that meet an objective of TRLA’s strategic plan
with eight successful projects being awarded funds from across the region.

[We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first people and custodians of this land]
Gomeroi People are the traditional custodians of the waterways and the land on which we work and live.

that respect to all Aboriginal people.
