A busy year for Queensland's regional NRM groups
Queensland's regional NRM bodies have had a busy 12 months, reporting massive on-ground activities across the state. A new one-page fact sheet on these outputs is available from the Regional NRM Groups Collective (RGC) website and from the RGC stand at the Landcare Conference.
Regional Groups Collective Chair Mike Berwick said the outputs are a good example of how regional NRM bodies are making a difference on the ground, with the support of community partners such as Landcare groups.
In the 12 months up to 30 June 2009, regions reported delivering 1597 awareness raising events for more than 80,000 people and the rehabilitation or enhancement of 446,000 hectares of native vegetation.
For further information about the outputs achieved in the past 12 months, visit the RGC website or drop in to the RGC stand if you are at the Landcare conference in Longreach this week.
