This year's theme is Cores, Koalas, and Corridors. Key speakers will include local farming champions, ecologists, and environmentalists who are protecting wildlife and connecting the country. Speakers will include other local landcare groups working to protect Cores, Koalas and Corridors.

Anyone is welcome to attend and it is suitable for local environmentalists, nature supporters, students, farmers, Landcarers, Bushcarers, Field Naturalists and Sustainability group members.

K2W Link aims to inspire and motivate and provide opportunities for connecting with each other and community building throughout the day and into the future.

The annual forum is sponsored as part of Cores, Corridors and Koalas - a partnership between The Great Eastern Ranges and WWF-Australia to restore and connect critical habitat for forest-dependant wildlife.
