Project Management and Grant Writing Workshop with Jessica Leck
-
UNE Centre, Tamworth
This event will be an interactive workshop aimed at helping groups get the right start on a project from inception through to grant
application and successful delivery. We would cover project development, planning, budgeting, approaching partners for support and
considerations for the grant writing process. I would provide templates for key steps in this process which have served me well in my
applications and project management.
Participants will get the most out of this interactive workshop if they come prepared to discuss solutions for an issue or project of
interest to them.
Sorry, you've missed the RSVP deadline for this event.

Campfire Gathering
The Campfire Gathering at Boonalla Aboriginal Area on Gamilaroi Country was a truly meaningful day of connection, learning,
and reflection. Coordinators from across the northwest came together in a culturally safe and welcoming space to build relationships, share
stories, and strengthen partnerships with the Aboriginal community.
The day began with a moving Acknowledgement of Country, followed by powerful storytelling that invited everyone to reflect on their own
connection to place. Through open and respectful conversations, we explored our experiences in Landcare and the importance of Aboriginal
partnerships in our shared work caring for Country.
Lunch provided the perfect opportunity to relax, share a yarn, and deepen our connections. In the afternoon, Landcare staff engaged in a
robust and honest discussion about what Aboriginal partnerships mean in practice, before ending the day with a quiet reflection and personal
commitment to Country.
Erosion control with rock bags
North West Local Land Services Extension officer Craig Pullman invited Landcare Coordinators to view the application of erosion control
Rockbags at a property west of Barraba on 29th May 2025.
These flexible geotextile bags filled with rocks, are increasingly used for creek erosion control. They are environmentally friendly,
being made from non-toxic, recycled plastic, and are permeable to water and suitable for fish and wildlife habitats.
The site was a narrow creek bed with a high eroded bank requiring stabilisation.
