Thanks to the support of platinum partners, Burnett Mary Regional Group, the conference this year takes place in Monto, located approximately 250 kilometres west of Bundaberg.

 

CEO Burnett Mary Regional Group, David Brown said “We recognise that landcare groups play a significant role in managing natural resources at a grassroots level.  There are hundreds of landcare groups in Queensland who are working hand-in-hand with graziers, growers and governments to ensure a sustainable future for their communites.  Regional bodies across the State rely on these grassroots groups for on-ground action and crucial capacity building.”

 

“Along with the other Queensland regional bodies combined (RGC) we have committed platinum support for the 2008 Queensland Landcare Conference to ensure that important sustainability topics are addressed, and adequate representation of grassroots groups occurs,” David said.

The event takes place from 21 – 24 September and features keynote presentations on peak oil and gas, rural mental health, climate change, sustainable living and gardening and soil carbon.  There are also more than 20 concurrent sessions and 8 field trips to choose from.
