Connecting Country’s 2015 Annual Report – Out Now

Posted on 22 October, 2015 by Connecting Country

Spring in central Victoria is a time of the year when plants are flowering and growing, woodland birds and other native fauna are busily raising the next generation, and – hopefully – the rain is falling and the creeks are flowing.

It’s also the time when Connecting Country looks back over the past 12 months and brings together some of the best stories and achievements. This year’s Annual Report includes an original drawing on the cover from award-winning local author Trace Bella, a story from Muckleford landholders who have worked with the CC Works Crew to incorporate habitat restoration into their working farm, and well as updates and photos from all of our staff about other projects and programs – plus our aims for the year ahead.

A copy of the Annual Report is available for downloading (click here). We hope you enjoy reading all that you have helped support! We couldn’t have done it without you.

A small number of hard copies of the Annual Report will be available on the evening of the AGM. Don’t forget to come along to this special evening, even if just to hear our guest speaker Sean Dooley. As well as being chief editor of ‘Australian Birdlife’ magazine, a comedy writer and a regular bird-expert radio guest, Sean is also the author of The Big Twitch, Cooking with Baz and Anoraks to Zitting Cisticolas (an A to Z of Australian birds and birdwatching). This celebratory evening event is being held on Tues 27 October at the Castlemaine Golf Course clubhouse (Rilens Rd, Muckleford). The AGM commences from 6.30pm, yummy vegie soup is served after the AGM from 7pm, and with Sean speaking from 7.30pm. Friends, family and other ‘non-members’ are welcome.
