Lake Woodcroft Annual Carp Fish Out

On the 17th of February HNLN and Hawkesbury River County Council (HRCC) were invited to host stalls at the “Lake Woodcroft Carp Annual Fish Out!” HNLN had a stall focusing on how individuals can connect with nature and better their mental health using fun interactive skills and activities to stimulate the mind. Cattai Hills Environment Network CHEN had their project officer Cailee attend on the day, hosting a children's craft stall called "craft a carp"! This kids craft was a hit, many children and parents gave us feedback on how they would like to see activities like this at future events. HRCC hosted a stall with a fascinating weed display, including before and after photos of the treatment of a problem aquatic weed, Salvinia which used to smother Lake Woodcroft. Thanks to the Weed Control team, it is no longer an issue at the lake. This event, run by the Together in Nature program, was hosted by Hawkesbury-Nepean Landcare Network and made possible by funding from the Western Sydney Primary Health Network (WSPHN). WSPHN is operated by WentWest Ltd.
