Managing natural assets on farm – Enhancing Farm Dams
Wayne & Nell Chaffey, Susan Wilson and Nicky Chirlian joined many LLS staff from across the NorthWest and New England on an excellent workshop
on 28th & 29th July at the Department of Primary Industries Tamworth Agricultural Institute.
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.

with eight successful projects being awarded funds from across the region.
