Mid Lachlan Landcare offers Regenerative Agricultural Education Tours to urban students of all ages connecting people to sustainable food and fiber production and strengthening links between city and country.

Monitoring grazing management: Don’t think, know! Are we achieving profitable and ecological land management within our farming business?

Mid Lachlan Landcare has been identifying numerous sites inhabited by the Threatened Squirrel Glider and Landholders had expressed an interest in knowing more about this species.

‘Farmers must prioritise, avoiding putting themselves under intense pressure in long dry times as it can impact their wellbeing,’ said Dubbo Agricultural Consultant, Mark Gardner who recently spoke to a group of farmers at a Canowindra woolshed meeting organized by Mid Lachlan Landcare.

Each year, hundreds of senior interstate, city and coastal students studying Food Technology, Biology, Agriculture and Earth and Environmental Science attend Mid Lachlan Landcare’s education tours in the Cowra/Canowindra region. Learning the fossil history, land and water uses, the students appear most interested in the sustainable and regenerative practices happening in conjunction with agriculture and food production.

Teachers from six of Cowra and Canowindra’s local schools spent a day with Mid Lachlan Landcare learning why Cowra is such a fascinating educational hot-spot.

Mid-Lachlan Landcare has run 2 pest animal and weeds roadshows aimed at building local landholder capacities to manage their pest animal and weed problems more efficiently with knowledge and support provided by Mid-Lachlan Landcare, Central Tablelands Local Land Services, the Department of Primary Industries and Cowra Council.
