Landcare Learning - "Eyes in the Sky: Drones for Koala Conservation"with James Filby
-
UNE Building, Fitzroy St, Tamworth
Join us for an evening with James Filby – farmer, agronomist, and chief pilot of the Wildseek Koala Project. TRLA is proud to support this
groundbreaking project using drone technology to locate and protect koala populations across the region. James will take us behind the
scenes , sharing where the team has flown, what they’ve discovered, and how TRLA’s own drone is helping monitor and conserve koala habitat.
He’ll also explore the bigger picture—canopy health, habitat protection, and how regenerative agriculture supports both productive grazing
and biodiversity.
Join us for our Annual General Meeting on Saturday, 6 September 2025. The evening will begin at 5:00 pm
for a 5:30 pm start, with a brief AGM , dinner followed by a presentation from special guest speaker Henrietta Mooney.
Henrietta, a Natural History Illustrator, will share how she documents Australia's unique biodiversity and how her creative practice
intersects with Landcare values.

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.
