Join the WA Landcare Network for its 2024 Annual Network Gathering on Friday 1 November 2023.
We had such a great time at the Cockburn Wetlands Centre last year we are returning again for a day of networking and learning and an evening of celebrations with our landcare champions.
This year’s Annual Gathering theme will be ‘Sharing Our Landcare Stories’. Storytelling is powerful for landcare impact, fundraising and advocacy and we are looking forward to a day of sharing landcare stories to inspire others, and learning about how we can tell our collective landcare story more effectively.
The evening’s special event will be a Celebratory Sundowner to welcome our 2024 inductees into the WA Landcarer’s Hall of Fame. Please register separately for the Sundowner at the link below.

A highly interactive event program will provide opportunities for landcare story telling through short presentations and networking opportunities throughout the day including:
