Live. Grow. Explore. Community Day
Landcare Australia is a non-political, non-profit and uniquely Australian partnership between the community, government and business which aims to protect and repair Australia's magnificent, yet stressed, natural resources.
Landcare is a grass-roots volunteer movement made up of individuals and groups who work on protecting and restoring their local environments. Since its establishment in 1989, Landcare has grown and developed to focus on the sustainable management of all Australia's natural resources. It supports environmental conservation projects across the nation, from coastal to urban and remote areas of Australia.
Landcare is hosting a FREE community day on Sunday 23rd March, from 11.00am - 3.30pm, at the
Living Legends at
Woodlands Historic Park in Greenvale (six minutes' drive north of Melbourne Airport). The aim of the day is to bring the community together to explore their broader backyard and to learn more about sustainable lifestyle choices.
There will be lots of fun things to do! Some of the attractions include:
- an appearance by guest celebrity gardener Vasili Kanidiadis, who hosts Vasili's Garden to Kitchen TV show
- entertainment by Burundian refugee rap act FLYBYZ
- free barbecue lunch and ice creams
- Future Sparks – an interactive display where electricity is powered by pedal power
- guided nature walks
- reptile encounters – wildlife up close, providing insights into local native reptiles, and
- children's activities – Landcare fairy, face painting, pony rides and boomerang throwing.
As well as the fun things, there will be an educational element to the day, with stalls providing information about a wide range of topics, including smart energy use and bushfire safety, growing indigenous plants, low-impact weeding and setting up a vegetable garden.
There will also be three iPad minis up for grabs!
A full
schedule of the day's events is available online.
