The South East region Landcare community recently gathered at The National Theatre in Braidwood for the 2021 Landcare Muster. This annual event is co-hosted by South East Landcare and South East Local Land Services. The Muster provides an opportunity for connection, sharing, collaboration and inspiration for Landcare volunteers, coordinators and partners working with Landcare groups across the region.
The 45 attendees were welcomed to Country by Uncle Owen, Chair of the South East Elders Group. The day featured a celebration of the accomplishments of Landcare across environmental, agricultural, recovery and community projects.

"The Muster is a great opportunity to celebrate the people who contribute so much passion, energy, knowledge, experience and leadership to our landscapes and the groups and communities that support it".
