Tips for Effective Fox Control in Upper Lachlan
Taralga Landcare are experiencing a revival in recent times.
Recent activities include a planting project near the Taralga tennis courts to beautify the area and reduce evapotranspiration during the hot summers.
And an information session with Local Land Services Officers discussing how the recent wet conditions affect the way water moves through the landscape and the types of plants we see emerging.
Upper Lachlan Landcare have a variety of pathways to connect with school aged students, support their learning and nurture their enthusiasm for caring for our environment, including;
- Community and School Tree Planting Days. These events range from small scale plantings to huge extravaganzas that bring together a number of partners and activities including interactive talks, hands-on demonstrations, theatre productions, art activities and much more!
- WaterWatch Program with Crookwell High School at Kiamma Creek. Upper Lachlan Landcare supports student learning by training local students in waterway health and sampling techniques.
Upper Lachlan Landcare believes by fostering a respect and love for our natural environment, we increase our community’s capacity to care for our landscape in the longer term.
