With a dress code of frocks and gumboots, the inaugural Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority (CMA) Chicks in the Sticks gathering at Mt Buller on November 27 is certain to be a memorable celebration of the achievements of rural women.
Goulburn Broken CMA Regional Landcare Facilitator Ashley Rogers said the event would be an enjoyable opportunity to meet other like-minded and inspirational women in the natural resource management and agriculture sectors.
“As well as providing guests with an opportunity to network and share experiences, we will tour Mount Buller and enjoy a twilight dinner by the Delatite River at Mirimbah Park,” Ms Rogers said.
“Guest speakers will include Louise Perrin, Environmental Manager for the Mt Buller and Mt Stirling Alpine Resort Management Board, who will discuss her work at Mt Buller, including reversing the decline of the Mountain Pygmy Possum.”
