Biodiversity matters | Orange Biodiversity Month
Harnessing natural capital for a better future
Do you want to learn more about the opportunities biodiversity presents to your farm enterprise and future?
Join staff from Local Land Services and the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust (BCT) for an engaging field day on harnessing natural capital.
On the day you’ll hear from Local Land Services staff on our unique natural capital services, including assessments and planning.
From BCT you will gain an understanding of the role that private land plays in conservation and the services and opportunities that the BCT offers.
Please dress for the conditions and wear sturdy shoes. Morning tea and lunch will be provided.

Orange Biodiversity Month is a month-long celebration of biodiversity in the Orange region, held in September.
This year we’re celebrating biodiversity wherever it occurs; in your backyard, your local parks or on your farm - in the day and in the night.
Check out the list of events below and make sure you tell your friends.
- Biodiversity in backyards - Sunday 1 September
- Wildlife spotlighting at Gosling Creek - Friday 6 September
- Orange Farmers Market - Saturday 14 September
- Wildlife spotlighting at Orange Botanic Gardens - Friday 20 September
- Great Southern Bioblitz at Lake Canobolas - Saturday 21 September
We're also working with local schools to create 'Buzzing Bees' - a native bee-inspired artwork at the Orange Cultural Precinct. Not only will you be able to see the artwork, but you can pose with it too. You’ll need to be quick – it’s temporary, so will only last a few weeks.
No need to book to pose with the buzzing bees. The Cultural Precinct is freely accessible to the public and located on Byng Street opposite Robertson Park. Check out Orange Regional Museum’s Animal Kin exhibition while you’re there.
Orange Biodiversity Month is brought to you by a unique collaboration of community, industry, and government partners including:
- Local Land Services
- Orange City Council
- NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust
- Central Tablelands Landcare
- Orange Field Naturalist and Conservation Society
- Environmentally Concerned Citizens of Orange.
