Frocking Fabulous: Rural Women’s Day in Guyra

Koala Feed Tree & Eucalyptus ID Training Course
Southern New England Landcare's Northern Tablelands Koala Partnership Project is organising a Eucalyptus Identification training course for koala rehabilitators, landholders and students in the Northern Tablelands, funded by the National Parks & Wildlife Service. We are looking to deliver the next course in Armidale in mid-late January 2025. The course will be two days in length (likely over a weekend) with one theory day and one day in the field. Travel and accommodation may be funded. Southern New England Landcare invites all members, landholders and rehabilitators in the Northern Tablelands to express their interest. If you are keen to participate, please fill out an Expression Of Interest (EOI) to ensure you do't miss out. |
