TRLA Photography Competition – Biodiversity in Focus

Celebrate the incredible diversity of our region’s flora and fauna! From ancient, towering red gums to seasonal wattles and delicate bluebells, from wedge-tailed eagles and kangaroos to blue wrens and blue-banded bees—biodiversity thrives in every corner of our landscape. We invite photographers of all skill levels to capture the beauty of our natural environment, both big and small. Whether it’s the grassy white box woodlands, rivers, dams, and billabongs, or footpaths, parks, backyards, and even pot plants, there’s always a unique perspective waiting to be discovered.

The competition opens on May 17th and closes on June 28th, giving our judges time to carefully select the winning shots. Winners will be announced during Landcare Week, commencing August 8th, and all submitted photos will be proudly displayed at Fitzroy Plaza, allowing the community to celebrate and be enthralled by the stunning biodiversity of our region. So grab your camera or smartphone, explore the beauty around you, and “shoot your best shot!”

Beyond Soil Sustainability

Upper Mooki Landcare conducted a very successful workshop “Beyond Soil Sustainability: Wisdom from Gabe Brown, Col Seis & Walter Jehne” on March 3rd 2025.

Originally planned to be held at the historic Windy Woolshed, a wild storm resulted in the woolshed roof being damaged and the venue moved to the Theatre Royal in Quirindi.  Liverpool Plains Shire Council provided support to bring the Theatre out of mothballs, and it was fabulous to see a full theatre with around 350 people attending.

Our members often say that when you become part of Landcare, you’re not just joining a group, you’re becoming part of a family. The concept is so compatible with Australian culture it’s hard not to get involved! By becoming a TRLA member, you’ll be supporting our work, learning new skills, becoming part of the solution, and helping to make a difference for the future.
