Queensland Water and Land Carers

The Queensland Landcare Conference 2009: “Legends, Larrikins and Landcare” comes to Longreach from Thursday 15 to Saturday 17 October, hosted by Desert Channels Queensland and supported by 6 local Landcare groups.

This year’s program will showcase land and water management practices involving everything from water wise gardens, the control of woody and exotic weeds, to feral animal control and the rehabilitation of our natural water courses.

Individuals, community organisations and corporate entities are encouraged to participate in this valuable program, with conference sessions held at the Longreach Cultural and Civic Centre. Attendees will experience keynote presentations by well known industry representatives, plus field trips and an extensive social program designed to bring out the legends and larrikins in everyone!

Although it’s still quite early in the development stages, a basic preliminary schedule has been released and details on keynote speakers will be available shortly. Registrations are expected to open in late March.
