The Fair is Over But Visitors are Always Welcome

Posted on 12 June, 2013 by Connecting Country

The World Environment Day Fair in the Castlemaine Market building on Sunday 2 June was a great success with many local residents (and visitors) stopping by for a chat and taking advantage of the resources on offer. The Connecting Country stall had a strong Landcare theme. It was one of many displays put on by environment ansd sustainability groups working in our region.

If you didn’t make it to the Fair but would still like to access the land management resources available through Connecting Country, visitors are always welcome to our offices in the Hub building – corner of Templeton St and Barker St (above The Good Table restaurant), Castlemaine. We have resources on weed and pest control, native vegetation management, Landcare, native wildlife and much more. We also have Bonnie – a very knowledgable botanist who can help you to identify that mystery plant which ‘sort of looks like a weed, but you’re not really sure’!

Thanks to Jay Smith from the Mount Alexander Shire Council for organising this year’s World Environment Day Fair.

Chris, Max & Jan examine one of the 50 free indigenous plants that were given away to visitors at the Connecting Country stall. Thanks to Frances Cincotta from Newstead Natives for supplying the plants!
