On behalf of the 2016 National Landcare Conference, Landcare Australia is pleased to call for the submission of abstracts for conference presentations.
Submissions must be received by 10 June 2016.
The conference, to be held between 21 and 23 September 2016 at Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, will centre around conference theme ‘Collaborative Communities – Landcare in Action’.
Presenters should look to showcase the Landcare movement’s approach to natural resource management and sustainable agriculture. We seek presentations for the concurrent session streams:
- Climate Impacts and Responses
- Community Engagement
- Landscape Challenges and Responses
- Collaboration and Innovation
Anyone involved with the Landcare movement is eligible to submit an abstract. We encourage farmers, volunteers, Landcare groups, natural resource management organisations, primary industry representatives, environmentalists and conservationists, academics and researchers to consider whether they have a Landcare story to share.
We additionally seek poster exhibits for display at the conference. These should illustrate the outcomes and lessons from Landcare or natural resource management projects, which you would like to share with other conference delegates.
We look forward to receiving your submissions, to help us create an engaging program for all Landcarers.
