NSW Landcare Forum-"Thinking Differently"
Thinking Differently.The NSW Landcare and Catchment Management Forum will attract delegates from all over New South Wales involved with all levels of Landcare from farmers and community representatives to industry and business professionals aiming to solve the problems of today with new ideas and approaches. The Forum itself will be conducted over two days (Tuesday and Wednesday) and will look at “thinking differently – new solutions for the old issues” and will host several high profile speakers, including Major Michael Jeffery who is involved with Outcomes Australia amongst other things. Also included will be representatives of Landcare from local to state level, State and federal Ministers, Central West and Lachlan Catchment Management Authority’s and Landcare Australia Limited.
The event kicks off on a Sunday evening with the inaugural Kalhari River festival on the lake foreshore at Forbes. Merrill Findlay the creative director of the project said “We are planning an amazing experience for Landcare Forum participants – where the history, landscapes and story of this unique place will be unveiled over a day, which will be a great start to the conference – held in the beautiful surrounds of the Forbes Lagoon”.
The Monday morning will see what has become known as the NSW Landcare Muster whereby the Landcare community gets together to discuss issues and determine the actions of Landcare NSW inc for the next twelve months. Following that, the RLF’s will meet and the agenda and organisation of that meeting is the task set aside for Danielle, Anne and Leanne. Gerald will be more intimately involved with the running of the Forum proper.
On the Tuesday night the NSW Landcare Dinner and Awards will be held. This will be the moment when hopefully our achievers in the Central West will be recognized at the State level. Regardless of the outcome, we know that the people out there doing their bit are all champions regardless of the size of the project.
