Wettenhall Environment Trust

Many thanks to the Wettenhall Environment Trust for a small grant for community education. We aim to record and share data about our local native flora species, and show how they fit into the web of life in our region. We are hosting free weekly Rainforest Species ID workshops at the nursery, and will use the grant to develop further workshop material and fund workshops in 2018, as well as publish our data online and train local unemployed people as citizen scientists. See our first instructional video here.

On 16th March, Dr. Jacky Williams gave a public presentation on Planetary Stewardship and Landcaring. Jacky is an environmental scientist based at UNE. She has had a long history of working in rural communities - from forest activism, landcare chair and coordinator and managing a regional natural resource management organization, before deciding to explore more in-depth research of the issues and barriers for rural communities in looking after Country.  Download her presentation here.(pdf)
