A big thank you to McCarthy Catholic Collage Environment Club!

The Friends of Moore Creek Caves Reserve would like to thank the Environment Club at McCarthy Catholic Collage and the science teacher Shaun Nichols who runs the group.

 Several large bags of shredded paper the students recycled was donated to the Friends of Moore Creek Caves Reserve and used for mulching around new and old plantings as well as adding organic cover to some bare areas.  We hope this partnership continues well into the future!

 The Friend of Moore Creek Caves Reserve meet on the 3rd Saturday of each month for working bees in the reserve.  Text Paul on 0425 337 475 if you would like to join the friendly group.

Over two days in Narrabri and Tamworth, 125 landholders from across the North West had the privilege of hearing from innovator, leader, pioneer and change-maker Dr Terry McCosker from RCS and CarbonLink. It was inspiring, challenging but most of all motivating. Along with the science, we also heard about opportunities for carbon projects from CarbonLink, Climate Friendly and South Pole. A big thank you to all our wonderful speakers and to everyone who attended. Proudly supported by Tamworth Regional Landcare Association and Northern Slopes Landcare Association Inc.
