Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland)—Congratulations to Hunter Region Landcare Network and Maitland City Council who have recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding to help support Landcare, and to commit resources to establish two sites across the Local Government Area in the first year. One of these projects is to restart the Bolwarra Landcare group. This is a great opportunity to start making immediate improvements to the natural environment of the Bolwarra area. With a changing climate, drought, fires and floods and increasing development, we need Landcare groups more than ever to ensure that the precious public lands we have left are managed properly, to eradicate weeds and regenerate local native flora and fauna. I acknowledge the important role Landcare plays throughout New South Wales in bringing together farmers, landholders, conservationists and nature lovers, of all ages through vital projects and shared goals. Unfortunately Bolwarra Landcare's recent Working Bee had to be postponed due to the wet weather. The good news is that it has been rescheduled to 30th April from 9am to 11am at John Wilkinson Sporting Complex, and I'm hoping I can attend and share some of my love of gardening and nature with the group.
