17 May 2012 – Reminder about three events on this Thursday
Posted on 16 May, 2012 by Connecting Country
There are three local events on Thursday 17 May. The details of the first two have already been included on the Connecting Country site (follow the links below):
Consultation on the North Central CMA draft Regional Catchment Strategy to be held in the Campbells Creek Community Hall.
Elphinstone AGM where Ern Perkins, local flora expert, will speak on native and non-native grasses.
The third event is is through the Newstead Landcare Group. It is a presentation by Hedley Thomson of Ballarat Environment Network and Goldfields Weed Management on the topic of ‘Sensitive Area Weed Management’. Hedley will talk about the best ways to manage weeds in sensitive areas and how the use of herbicides can be minimised. He will also help us to understand what natural systems can be enlisted in controlling weeds to get the safest results. This promises to be not only a very interesting but also very useful evening. Hedley is well known as a passionate and engaging presenter. The talk starts at 8 pm at Newstead Community Centre. All are welcome to attend and gold coin donations would be appreciated. A brief (and optional) business meeting will follow. Contact Patrick Kavanagh of Newstead Landcare 5476 2755 for more details.
