These free community events bring together expert speakers to share insights on topics ranging from pasture management and cropping to bushfire risk planning and sustainable land practices. The Co-op’s commitment to supporting local agriculture is evident in the diversity and relevance of its programming, making it a trusted hub for knowledge exchange and collaboration.
On a wet Saturday in early August, around 35 people – farmers, landowners, and town residents – gathered inside the Bowral Co-op to hear about the Water Stewardship Program, presented by Erin Healy, Program Manager at Mulloon Institute. The session explored how community-led, catchment-scale projects can support water quality, security and catchment health in the region.
The Bowral Co-op shared their thoughts:
“It was great to see such strong interest in the work you’re doing and the Water Stewardship Program. We enjoyed an excellent presentation from Erin Healy, Program Manager, and the opportunity to engage with Carolyn Hall, CEO. It’s an impressive initiative with exciting opportunities for Highlands landowners.”
It was a great opportunity to connect with locals and discuss how collaborative stewardship can shape a healthier future for our landscapes and waterways.
The Water Stewardship Program is supported by funding from WaterNSW and The Ian Potter Foundation.
