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.

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.”

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.
