Having received some good interest from people at the workshop in Bungendore on 1 December, particularly from around Carwoola - Captain's Flat - Hoskinstown, the project team is now planning to hold the first MLC workshop in this area.

The details for the workshop are not yet finalised, but at this stage expect a 1-day workshop in the Captains Flat valley (ideally on the property of an interested landholder) in late April or early May. The workshop will help land managers to get a better understanding of native vegetation on their property, and also to look at managing it in the context of its connectivity to surrounding patches, through aerial photos and maps (which we will provide for all attendees) of native vegetation types across the landscape around their individual properties. There will also be sessions on Indigenous land management principles, and how people can begin to apply these on their property, if they are interested.

Interested in learning more about herbicide application?

Are you a landholder in the ACT or in the Googong or Upper Murrumbidgee catchments south of the ACT?

Are you working with herbicides as a Park Carer/landcarer in the ACT or in the Googong or Upper Murrumbidgee catchments south of the ACT? If you fall into any of these categories and want to upgrade your chemical application skills, ensure your machinery is working correctly, enable up to date records and gain accreditation or reaccreditation then read on.

The Molonglo Catchment Group with local landcare groups have organised four community field days which provide valuable horse, pasture and weed management advice relevant to your property, to be presented by Jane Myers (expert on horse management) and Alison Elvin (local expert on weed and pasture management).

Queanbeyan Landcare have arranged a short stroll/walk on "The Poplars" grassland this coming Sunday, 20 November,  to view rich native wildflowers and woodlands.  This is private property, however, the Larcombe family has given permission for this.

These Awards are an opportunity for the Murrumbidgee catchment community to recognise the hard work of landcarers across the catchment and to nominate an individual or group that is making a difference. See umlc.org.au/node/321 for more information.
