24.01.2022 BackTrack's heading to the coast! Over the next two months our Fire Recovery Teams will be in the Orara Valley helping out on properties affected by the 2019 bush fires. BizRebuild have been a huge help to our efforts, they were on site this week having a look at what we do and learning a few tips and tricks from the boys along the way. https://www.nbnnews.com.au//backtrack-boys-visit-nana-glen/... #FireRecovery #BackTrack #BizRebuild #NanaGlen

17.01.2022 Great to be sharing some yarns about tackling the tough stuff for kids in The NT with the legend Adam Drake. The Association of Independent Schools NT taking the initiative to challenge and look forward for solutions - thanks Gail Barker for getting us up to Alice Springs

16.01.2022 It was great to welcome the NBRA to BackTrack Youth Works yesterday. The National Bushfire Recovery Agency is responsible for the coordination and national response to rebuilding communities affected by fire. They work closely with local organisations like BackTrack to provide support across the country. BackTrack’s fire recovery work kicked off at the beginning of the year and so far we’ve worked on 57 properties and have repaired and rebuilt over 125km’s of fencing. We emp...loyed 15 young people who have clocked up over 2,620 hours of on the job training to date. There is still an enormous amount of work to be done and we’re extremely grateful to have agencies like the NBRA who show us unwavering support.

15.01.2022 BackTrack’s first foray into natural resource management!! The Capricorn Foundation has joined BackTrack Youth Works and the University of New England to offer an interactive training opportunity for 15 young people. The program will take place at the Dumaresq Dam Reserve, home to species including Koalas, Barking owls, Greater broad-nosed bats and many others...... Over 12 months, young people will plan, implement and evaluate a defined series of activities that protect and enhance the habitat of native and endangered birds and animals on the property. The project will also include an accredited training component, under the Conservation and Land Management framework. Really excited to see the progress of this great initiative. Pictures below are from the program launch and BBQ.

02.01.2022 Bernie winning 'Local Hero' this year has put a spotlight on BackTrack, opening the door to opportunity and growth that would otherwise not be available. We are extremely grateful for this experience but now we'd like to shine that light onto Lana Masterson. Lana runs Down The Track out of Lake Cargelligo and has been nominated for the 2021 NSW Australian of the Year Awards. We're so proud to be involved with Down The Track and Lana deserves to be recognized for the effort sh...e's putting in. You can tune in tonight from 6pm AEDT to watch the event.
