One member in particular sent us in some before and afters of their most recent no dig garden and a handy how to video link - it looks incredib...le! Can't wait to see it progress!

Tamworth Regional Landcare Association is reaching out to private... landholders in the Liverpool Plains and Gunnedah Shires to express interest in a koala habitat restoration project. Funded under the NSW Governments Saving Our Species (SOS) program, the project aims to procure at least thirty(30) hectares of new koala habitat across both Shires by the end of 2021. Tamworth Regional Landcare Association (TRLA) have a grant funding agreement with the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment to oversee the Saving Our Species koala conservation project in the Gunnedah and Liverpool Plains region. The state-wide SOS program aims to secure threatened plants and animals in the wild in NSW. A total of $145,000 has been allocated to fund the program in the Gunnedah and Liverpool Plains LGAs. The program is due to reach completion by June 2021. #landcarensw #landcare #grantfunding #koalas #habitat #savingourspecies #corridors #restoration #gunnedah #liverpoolplains See more
