Since 2018, I have been bringing you news and events via email each week through Landcare Links or Chough Chat newsletters. Some of you will be receiving both.

I am currently reviewing how you would like to receive your news, events and grant opportunities and encourage you to give us feedback.

Please click here and spend 3 mins to take this survey so I can streamline news for you.

Thanking you in advance for your participation.

Warm Regards,
