Don’t miss this special Landcare Week event – see you Friday!
After recent flooding across the region, many landholders are facing damaged or washed-out creek crossings—and the question we’re hearing most is: “Do I need a licence to repair it?”
A recent Landcare Learnings event shone a spotlight on the innovative WildSeek Koala Project, a national collaboration between Landcare Australia, WIRES, and QUT, with Tamworth Regional Landcare (TRLA) one of just five community hubs involved across the country.
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.
Gunnible Landcare members, working with Gunnedah SES, have been proactive in providing local residents with flood warnings.
We’re excited to share the official wrap‑up article from the BCT about the PLC Matters program and its impact on private
land conservation
across New South Wales: PLC Matters inspires private land
conservation across NSW.
Since launching in June 2023, BCT and Landcare NSW have teamed up through PLC Matters to
develop a thriving network of landholders committed to safeguarding biodiversity. By June 2025, they had delivered 143
events
across the state, engaging nearly 2,200 participants in field days, workshops, and storytelling sessions. plcm.landcarensw.net.au+5bct.nsw.gov.au+5bct.nsw.gov.au+5
The program’s impact is clear:

Here at TRLA, we’re passionate about the wellbeing of our natural ecosystem and recognise the responsibility we have to protect the
environment and biodiversity.
Tree hollows and fallen logs provide important homes for Australian wildlife, but they’re disappearing at an alarming rate.
Trees provide critical habitat for native wildlife to forage, shelter, roost and nest. Hollow bearing trees are particularly important, as
many species use hollows on a daily and seasonal basis to nest and raise their young.

The North West Region was recently lucky enough to be chosen to take part in a series of Campfire Gatherings which are being initiated as a trial before a broader
Expressions of Interest (EOI) are sought from growers to participate in a new project being delivered across the North West Local Land
Services region through to June 2026.
In response to the devastating impact of the 2019/2020 Black Summer Bushfires on koala populations and other threatened species, Landcare Australia, WIRES (NSW Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service), and Queensland University of Technology (QUT) partnered to create the WildSeek Project.

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:

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.
