Yass Landcare: New Equipment Brings Fresh Energy to Yass Landcare Community Nursery

We’re excited to share some fantastic news from Yass Landcare Community Nursery! Thanks to the generous support of the Bango Wind Farm Community Enhancement Fund, we've recently been able to purchase new trays, pots, and other essential nursery supplies. This grant has been a game changer for our operations, and we’re thrilled about the positive impact it will have.

Previously, our volunteers had to contend with mismatched trays and tubes, which was not only inefficient but also a bit of a puzzle to solve. With our new, precisely matched equipment, the process will be much smoother. No more forcing differently sized tubes into trays—everything now fits perfectly, making our nursery operations more streamlined and enjoyable.

Our dedicated team of volunteers will be busy from September to December 2024 filling these new trays with our Climate Ready native seed mix. This hard work will prepare us for a fantastic selection of plants that will be available for sale starting in Autumn 2025.

 

A huge thank you to the Bango Wind Farm Community Enhancement Fund for making this possible. Your support is invaluable, and we’re incredibly grateful for your contribution to our nursery and community. Stay tuned for updates as we continue to grow and enhance our nursery with this wonderful new equipment!
