🌿 Community Spirit at the Rylstone Kandos Show!

What a day! The Rylstone District Environment Society stall was buzzing packed with colour, conversation, and community spirit.

🧺 Our raffle hamper stopped people in their tracks, overflowing with local goodies and a kayak hire voucher that had everyone dreaming of a paddle on the river.

🌱 Native plants from Watershed Landcare were a hit, with visitors picking up hardy local species and checking out photos from the Cudgegong River Project.

🦘 The “Koalas Need Trees” display drew families in, sparking great chats about protecting habitat and keeping our wildlife thriving.

A huge thank‑you to everyone who stopped by, entered the raffle, bought a plant, or shared a yarn. And a special thank you to our Volunteers!
