Got a prickly problem on your patch? Join us May 20 to learn how to spot, stop, and manage invasive cacti with Harrisia Cactus Project Officer Debi Bancroft!
We’re excited to be partnering with Carbon8 for a powerful one-day workshop all about boosting biodiversity
to strengthen your farming system — from the soil up!
Whether you’re managing pasture or cropping, increasing biodiversity can improve productivity, build resilience, and reduce the need for
chemical inputs. This is your chance to hear directly from landholders, educators, and experts who are walking the talk.
📅 When: Wednesday, 15 May
🚨 Submissions close Sunday, May 4, 2025 🚨
After years of advocacy, the NSW Government is finally reviewing the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998 — and your
voice is urgently needed
to help protect our native wildlife from the impacts of free-roaming pet cats.
🦘 Why it matters:
This outdated law currently prevents local Councils from setting and enforcing cat containment policies, leaving cats to
roam, kill native wildlife, and spread diseases like toxoplasmosis. It’s time for a law that reflects
modern expectations of responsible pet ownership.
💥 Make a difference – three easy options:
✅ Option A (quick & easy):
