🌱 Uralla Community Garden Working Bee 🌱

Hi folks! Join us this Saturday, 6th June from 9:00am to 1:00pm at the Uralla Community Garden (3 Wood Street, Uralla). 🤗

There’s plenty happening in the garden as we continue preparing for winter and improving our growing spaces. This month we'll be installing more of our new grant-funded wicking beds and putting the final touches on our replacement greenhouse, which is nearly ready for use.

Whether you're a regular volunteer or have never visited before, we'd love to see you there. No gardening experience is needed, there are jobs for all ages and abilities.

Tea, coffee, morning tea and lunch will be provided.

Come along, lend a hand, meet some friendly locals, and help us continue growing a productive community garden for Uralla. 🌿

Sharing this announcement from .

A free community forum in Armidale next month will examine what happens to solar panels and other renewable infrastructure when they reach the end of their lifespan, as Australia faces a growing wave of solar waste.

The event, Closing the Loop: Recycling Solar in the New England, will be held at NOVA on Monday 4 May from 6pm to 7.30pm, bringing together experts and community members to discuss recycling, reuse and disposal of renewable energy technologies.

The issue of recycling is becoming increasingly important as more solar systems are installed across the country, with waste volumes forecast to rise sharply. Annual solar panel waste in Australia is expected to nearly double over the next five years, increasing from 59,340 tonnes in 2025 to more than 91,000 tonnes by 2030.

While much of that growth will initially be driven by household systems in metropolitan areas, regional communities are expected to see increasing volumes in the years that follow as large-scale solar farms reach the end of their operating life.
