NAMOI SOIL SYMPOSIUM
Gunnible Landcare Inc was supported by Gunnedah Urban Landcare Group to host the Namoi Soil Symposium on 12th March at Emerald
Hill Community Hall, northwest of Gunnedah.
The event was initiated by local farmers, wanting a repeat visit from Joel Williams, an Australian soil scientist, now internationally
acclaimed educator. Joels sessions were backed by local soil scientist Dr Rober Banks, and local croppers Scott McCalman and Amy
Perfrement. The Emerald Hill CWA provided bounteous morning and afternoon teas, and the Verdict Café in Gunnedah used lamb from The
Conscious Farmer at Caroona to create delicious boxed lunches.
TRLA staff teamed up on the day to assist Nicky Chirlian, Liverpool Plains and Gunnedah Coordinator, with Kate Spry providing comms, and
Susan Wilson providing technical support. Ninna Douglas manned the TRLA Nursery stand. Wayne Chaffey, as TRLA Chair and NSW
Landcare Board Member, did an outstanding job as MC for the day.
The fully booked event was a great success, with feedback such as “the best Landcare event I have ever attended”, a testament to intense
planning and input from the Gunnible Landcare Committee working with the Local Landcare Coordinator.
