ABOUT MUSIC IN THE REGIONS
Music in the Regions (MitR) is an independent touring organisation established in 2022 to connect classical musicians with regional audiences and facilitate transformative musical experiences across New South Wales. These musicians will perform in regions not traditionally visited, reinvigorating regional venues into concert venues, and fostering a vibrant, world-class New South Wales classical music industry. MitR is supported by the NSW Government via Create NSW, and through private philanthropy. For more information visit www.musicintheregions.com  

ABOUT UPPER PEEL LANDCARE GROUP
Formed in 2012, Upper Peel Landcare Group's original concern was the removal of woody weeds from public lands in Nundle. In October 2013, the community and UPLG members put in over 180 plants along the Peel River which runs through the town. After some down time, the group has bounced back with new enthusiasm and in 2021 began working with Nundle Library to set up a Community Garden, at which several community events and workshops have been held. The group have enjoyed expanding into the realm of hosting music events such as the Festival of the Halls tour in June and Music in the Regions in November this year.

Why Autumn is the Best Season for Planting Farm Trees: Plan Ahead for Success

Planting trees is a significant investment in the future health and productivity of farmland. Choosing the optimal planting season can greatly influence the success and growth of these trees.

The Power of Beneficial Insects and Trees on Farms

Invertebrate animals, including insects, spiders, and worms, make up over 95% of Australia’s animal diversity and around 55% of its total biodiversity. These small creatures may be easy to overlook, but they are absolutely essential to the health of our ecosystems. Invertebrates help maintain the balance in nature by breaking down organic matter, recycling nutrients, pollinating plants, dispersing seeds, and controlling pest populations. However, despite their importance, many invertebrate species are not included in conservation plans, even though hundreds are listed as threatened. Supporting these species is crucial for ensuring that our ecological and economic systems remain stable.
