Lunch and Learn Series
These lunch and learn sessions are open to our members, Landcare Enabling Program participants and relevant stakeholders. Our aim is to create an environment where we come together and learn from each other. There is so much untapped talent in the Landcare ranks and this is a great opportunity to shine a light on the amazing work on the ground, partnerships that have been forged and the tools that are available to help us be more effective, efficient and connected.
If you have any questions relating to the Lunch and Learn Series, please contact Community of Practice Coordinator Peter Pigott at lep@landcarensw.org.au
