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.

Thinking Ahead? Let’s Grow Together – Pre-Order Now for Spring and Autumn Plantings
Are you planning a revegetation, habitat or garden project for Spring 2025 or Autumn 2026? Now is the perfect time to get
in touch and place your order.
At the Landcare Nursery, we grow to order, meaning early planning gives us time to propagate the species you need, grown
from local provenance seed where possible. This ensures your plants will be healthy, robust, and ready when it’s time to go in the ground.
Why plan ahead?
Good communication helps us grow the right plants, in the right quantities, and align with the best planting windows for your site.
While most people target spring and autumn, winter planting is also a good option this year—with mild weather and
consistent rainfall, conditions have been good for establishing new plantings.
Let’s chat about your project:

In response to rising stress, anxiety, and disconnection from nature—particularly in rural areas—West Hume Landcare and the Wirraminna
Environmental Education Centre launched the Grassy Woodlands Nature Journaling Group. Meeting every two months in Burrumbuttock or on field
excursions, this inclusive group invites participants of all skill levels to slow down, observe, and creatively engage with nature through
drawing, writing, photography, and data collection. Nature journaling not only fosters mindfulness, creativity, and improved observation,
but also builds a shared sense of purpose and community connection. By offering a low-barrier, nature-based activity, the initiative has
become a powerful tool for supporting mental wellbeing and strengthening environmental awareness.
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.
