April 2016 edition – North Central CMA Chat
Posted on 5 April, 2016 by Connecting Country
The April 2016 edition of the North Central CMA publication ‘chat’ is now available (click here), covering Landcare and Waterwatch activities in the local area.
Some key activities and opportunities included in this edition include:
– Drought Employment Program Round 2 is open and Stock Containment funding available. All details are featured on the North Central CMA website
– 2016 Future Farming Expo, April 14
– Upcoming Local Landcare events
– The launch of the Campaspe Valley Landcare group’s “Ute Guide to Chilean and Texas Needle Grass Identification and Management” (email asha@connectingcountry.org.au if you’d like a copy of the guide)
Also of interest to many people is the 2014-15 Landcare report card produced by the North Central CMA (click here to download a copy). One thing that caught our eye was the top 3 challenges identified by Landcare groups across the CMA area: (1) Lack of available funds for priority on-ground works, (2) Lack of time from volunteers, and (3) Lack of community interest.
