Earth Hour Report.

On Saturday 26th March 2011, members from Parkes and Districts Landcare met at 5:30 at Northparkes Oval to take part in a community tree planting day. Trees were provided as part of the Shiny Halo blog, http://centroc.com.au/shinyhalo/ where one tree is planted for each article posted.

Looking at Landcare-more shows and also Landcare events coming up.

Nina Hooper Looking at Landcare 10th September  2010

Hello Landcarers.
The show season continues, with the Forbes show being held today and tomorrow. Though Landcare does not have the resources to be there this year, we wish the show committee all the best as we know that a huge amount of effort goes into these things. Agricultural shows also showcase a lot of what Landcare is also about – that is community getting together and rural production in a sustainable way. Long live the shows – for all of the real reasons. And speaking of which it was great to catch up with lots of Landcarers at the Parkes show. Read Full Story

Looking at Landcare-The Show is over, what happened.

Nina Hooper Looking at Landcare 3rd September 2010

Hello Landcarers.
We have had a few great days at the Parkes Show with lots of people through the Carbon Expo in the feature pavilion. A great exhibit from Centroc and the Lachlan CMA and Landcare was so pleased to be a part of it! A special thankyou to Jamie our volunteer for Tuesday at the show – so great to have an extra pair of hands! We had solar people, grey water recyclers, the GreenSkills van, nurseries and tree people as well as the wonderful Parkes Public School, who are doing some great things at school with their energy busters program. Thanks so much to all of the exhibitors and to all of the people that travelled through.  Read Full Story
