🌿🏆 A heartfelt congratulations to Mike McCosker from Carbon8!

What an incredible achievement, Mike McCosker being awarded the 'Australian Government Landcare Innovation Award' at last night's National Landcare Awards Gala Dinner!

This recognition is a wonderful testament to the passion, dedication, and vision that you, Helen and the entire Carbon8 team bring to connecting regenerative farming practices with healthy, thriving ecosystems.

Your commitment to bringing the education of regenerative practices and rejuvenating landscapes is inspiring and truly remarkable!

We have absolutely loved the wonderful relationship and collaboration we've built over recent years, from our very first Little Critters and Biodiversity Schools Day to working alongside you with Regenerative farming educational workshops. It's been a privilege to share this journey, bringing together our passion for education, regenerative agriculture and caring for our environment.

Mike, Helen and the Carbon8 team, this recognition is so richly deserved! Thank you for the difference you are making to our farming communities, landscapes, and future generations.

Congratulations from all of us at TRLA! 💚👏

Join us at Currawong Park for a relaxed and interactive Landcare 101 Education & Planning Day, bringing together community members, Landcare volunteers and local experts to learn, share ideas and help shape the future of this special local green space. Whether you’re new to Landcare or have years of experience, this is an opportunity to build your knowledge of native plants, wildlife habitat, revegetation and practical Landcare projects. You will also gain the knowledge to create a sanctuary rich in natural biodiversity on your own patch, whether it be small backyard or large property.
The morning will include an informal, Q&A-style discussion with local experts, a walk around the park to explore native plants and their role in supporting biodiversity, and a morning tea. We’ll also look at some of the basics of successful habitat restoration, before opening the conversation to gather ideas and suggestions for a future Master Plan for Currawong Park.
Everyone is welcome, and no prior experience is needed! Come along, ask questions, share your ideas and help us plan for a thriving park that benefits both people and wildlife. Please bring a folding chair, sun protection, a water bottle, your travel mug and your thinking cap! Morning tea will be provided.
