Biodiversity in our community.

Gunnible Landcare Inc, with support from LP & G  Landcare Coordinator Nicky Chirlian, hosted a workshop funded by the Biodiversity Conservation Trust on 25th October at the Gunnedah Aero Club, and then later at 347 Blue Vale Rd, Gunnedah.

20 community members attended the workshop, coming from Gunnedah, Dungowan, Boggabri, Manilla, Mullaley, Tamworth and Willow Tree. 

Rachael Payne, Senior Regional Conservation Officer – Northern Inland, NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust presented information about opportunities for landholders to support Biodiversity.

The main speaker was Liz Blair, Ecologist from Ecosystems Thinking.  Liz gave an excellent presentation on aspects of habitat management, such as building and rebuilding habitat at small and large scale, and creating, recovering and regenerating habitat and species on farm or urban areas.

Gunnible Landcare’s chair, Tony Bernays, demonstrated the strength and diversity of plantings commenced 27 years ago at his property “Eldorado”.

The event received excellent publicity in the Gunnedah Times,  with a journalist interviewing several attendees and providing a full page article and photos

DCCEEW Stakeholder Survey

As part of ongoing stakeholder consultation, the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water has developed a short survey to better understand how climate change is impacting restoration projects across the state.
The survey aims to: 

  • Capture local experiences of climate risks and impacts on restoration efforts,
  • Identify whether climate adaptation actions are being considered or implemented, and
  • Understand what information, tools, or resources could better support restoration practitioners in planning for a changing climate.


We are hoping to reach a wide range of practitioners, planners and policy makers working in ecological restoration across NSW and would greatly appreciate your help in circulating this survey through your networks.

The survey takes approximately 20 minutes to complete and does not collect any personal or identifying information. All responses will be reviewed carefully to ensure they remain anonymous.

Please feel free to forward this message and survey link to any colleagues, project partners or relevant contacts who may be interested in contributing. The broader the reach, the better the insights we can gather to support effective, climate-resilient restoration in NSW.
