Boosting youth involvement in NRM: a Landcare Queensland campaign

Headline date: 
18/05/2010

Landcare Queensland is coordinating a campaign across three pilot regions in Queensland, aimed at boosting youth involvement in Landcare and natural resource management. The campaign, which will focus primarily on university students around SEQ, Cairns and Toowoomba will involve advertising in student publications and around campuses and interacting with young people at events such as music festivals.

Students will be encouraged to register to participate in a range of landcare related activities taking place during Landcare Week, 6 – 12 September 2010.

Landcare and Catchment Groups and other community organisations are invited to register to run an event during Landcare Week. A resource kit and one-on-one support is available to assist with coordinating a strong community activity. Modest funding may also be available depending on location and type of event.

Queensland Regional NRM Groups Collective is a partner to the campaign. For more information, or to register, contact sam@wombatcreative.com.au.

DataHub - Improving access to NRM information

Headline date: 
12/02/2009

Many people in natural resource management (NRM) have experienced the frustrations of not having access to the appropriate natural resource information they need for making informed decisions. A pilot for the new Datahub project will be a great step forward in resolving some of this frustration by addressing the drivers that influence availability and access to knowledge and information.

The pilot project will commence in mid February and run for approximately five months. It is a collaboration between the Regional NRM Groups Collective (RGC), Terrain NRM, Queensland Murray-Darling Committee (QMDC) and the Department of Natural Resources and Water’s (NRW) Catchment Programs, and will involve a number of additional regional NRM bodies as stakeholders.
