National Update & Opportunities for community landcare in 2025

We invite you to join us for an insightful Landcare Checks In featuring a special update from National Landcare Facilitator, Mel Tyas from the National Landcare Network. 

Mel will provide an overview of the key focus areas within the Strengthen Landcare - Nature Repair program and talk about the transition process as the NLN heads into 2025. Additionally, she will discuss the recent finalisation of the World Intellectual Property Organization’s (WIPO) Treaty on Intellectual Property, Genetic Resources, and Associated Traditional Knowledge (GRATK Treaty), a landmark achievement following years of negotiation. Mel will also highlight upcoming opportunities for community landcare. 

We look forward to your participation in this engaging and informative session.
