A special potluck dinner was held in Yass on Monday, 3rd June, to acknowledge and thank the many hard-working volunteers involved with the Climate Ready Revegetation Project, as well as to celebrate YAN’s joint nomination for a NSW Landcare Award in the Climate Innovations category.
A toasty warm open fire, live music and beautifully laid tables set the scene at the Yass Lawn Tennis Club. People from Yass, Murrumbateman, Bowning-Bookham and Gunning Landcare groups came together to share a delightful feast of tasty mains and delicious desserts.
Elizabeth Goodfellow and Kath McGuirk presented certificates of gratitude to volunteers involved in the Climate Ready Revegetation Project from across the YAN member groups, including the planting trial hosts, nursery managers and volunteers, seed sourcers, project team, and project advisors.
On the back of phenomenal volunteer input and collaboration, the Climate Ready Revegetation Project is at the cutting edge of grassroots responses to climate change. We look forward to continuing the project and enjoying the community that is created from working together.
