New Landholder Participant Sign presented to local farmer
We have received our new landholder gate signs and are in the process of offering them to our past and current project participants for hanging on the property gates or project sites.
If you are currently involved in our on-ground works programs or have done so in the past and would like a gate sign, please come and see us at the Strathalbyn Natural Resource Centre, Strathalbyn where we can provide you with a sign for your gate.
How the community
feels about us…
“I get to meet new people, learn and be active in the outdoors...working with my hands to nurture plants is therapeutic. My plans to volunteer for a few hours each week is challenged by wanting to stay longer. You know when you’re onto a good thing when this happens! Come and join us... it’s a lot of fun!”
“As a volunteer I’m welcomed, supported, encouraged, informed, included, valued and appreciated. It’s very satisfying to work in a team that nurtures native plants, seeds, and seedlings. I’m inspired and rewarded knowing that our work together contributes to positive changes in our natural environment. The enthusiasm, dedication and respect given by the team leaders makes this a great place to volunteer.”
