NAMOI SOIL SYMPOSIUM

Gunnible Landcare Inc was supported by Gunnedah Urban Landcare Group to host the Namoi Soil Symposium on 12th March at Emerald Hill Community Hall, northwest of Gunnedah.

The event was initiated by local farmers, wanting a repeat visit from Joel Williams, an Australian soil scientist, now internationally acclaimed educator.  Joels sessions were backed by local soil scientist Dr Rober Banks, and local croppers Scott McCalman and Amy Perfrement.  The Emerald Hill CWA provided bounteous morning and afternoon teas, and the Verdict Café in Gunnedah used lamb from The Conscious Farmer at Caroona to create delicious boxed lunches.

TRLA staff teamed up on the day to assist Nicky Chirlian, Liverpool Plains and Gunnedah Coordinator, with Kate Spry providing comms, and Susan Wilson providing technical support.  Ninna Douglas manned the TRLA Nursery stand.  Wayne Chaffey, as TRLA Chair and NSW Landcare Board Member, did an outstanding job as MC for the day.

The fully booked event was a great success, with feedback such as “the best Landcare event I have ever attended”, a testament to intense planning and input from the Gunnible Landcare Committee working with the Local Landcare Coordinator.

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.
