Guest Speaker, Edwina Hayes is the Regional Landcare Facilitator, Murray and a Social Worker with expertise in community development, project management and group work. A bit of an environmentalist, tragic feminist, mindful mother and all-round farming fan. Edwina wants to bring people together to create something better than before. Edwina is a devotee of social media and collective action. Edwina discussed the world of addressing environmental, sustainable agriculture and rural social issues with opportunities to be involved. Edwina has been the Regional Landcare Facilitator in the Murray Region for 7 years. In that time community based, not-for-profit agricultural and natural resource management groups have enjoyed exponential growth. Key issues have included farming efficiencies; soil, nutrients, water, agribusiness skill development, pest and weed management and environmental practices; water flows, waterways and wetlands, southern pygmy perch, bush stone curlews, phantom wattle and revegetation for habitat and connectivity. Edwina recently worked with Bradley Hayden to run the NSW Landcare and Local Land Services Conference in Albury attracting a record crowd and having some great fun along the way.
