February 2009 meeting
The Burra Landcare Group is holding its next meeting at the Hall on Monday
23 February, at 7:30pm. This will be an opportunity to swap notes and meet
our planned guest speaker, Heather Mason.
Heather is a Natural Resource
Officer with the Murrumbidgee CMA, based in the Queanbeyan office. In her
role at the CMA, Heather works with Landcare groups in the Upper
Murrumbidgee region. This work involves collaborating on projects, creating
partnerships and information sharing with each of the groups.
Heather will be speaking to the group about the CMA, and in particular:
-
The role of the Murrumbidgee Catchment Management Authority (CMA) and
regional NRM;
-
Past and present projects the CMA has coordinated in the Upper
Murrumbidgee region;
-
Property Vegetation Plans (PVP);
-
Opportunities for landcare and landholder involvement with the CMA.
Heather will also briefly touch on the new Australian Government funding
program "Caring for our Country". She will discuss how this program is
different from previous funding rounds such as Envirofund, and explain how
it influences future funding for landcare groups and individual landholders.
So, if you have ever wondered what a CMA is and how it is relevant to
whatever you are planning to do with your property, come and join us for a
friendly and informative evening on the 23rd.
Looking forward to seeing all our Landcarers there, new and old! For more information, contact Don Fraser on 6236 3402
