On Saturday 12th October, YAN Coordinator Sonya Duus helped out in the Saving Our Species tent at the Harden Kite Festival. It was a great day, and there was plenty of wind for flying kites. Children were invited to colour in their chosen threatened species - which included the Superb Parrot, Glossy Black Cockatoo, Southern Pygmy Perch, a glider, and Powerful Owl. The beautiful coloured-in pictures were then turned into kites using simple biodegradable materials. All the while, kids and parents got to learn more about these species at risk in NSW.
Sonya joined with other Landcare representatives from Boorowa and Mid Lachlan Landcare Groups, as well as Damon from DPIE, Giselle from Southern Tablelands Arts in the kite tent.
