Malpas Catchment action is happening once more. Project Officer Rachel Lawrence has commenced in a part-time role with Southern New England Landcare. Rachel will work with landholders and community groups in the catchment as well as Armidale Regional Council and NT LLS towards improved outcomes for Malpas Dam and Armidale and Guyra’s water supply.

Rachel intends to build on the excellent work that has been done previously in the catchment. A steering committee will soon be reformed to assist in identifying priorities and to determine suitable ways to engage and support key landholders and community groups. Opportunities are currently available through NT LLS for support for fencing, off-stream watering infrastructure and riparian area biodiverse plantings. For further information or to express an interest in on-ground works please contact Rachel Lawrence at Southern New England Landcare Ltd on phone 02 6772 9123.
