One of Landcare Tasmania's key member services is to provide opportunities for training and networking.
Thanks to successful funding applications and generous donations, we are running a series of events and information sessions across the state, helping to empower you and your communities to look after your patch with upskilling and networking opportunities.
Have you got feedback? We constantly collect feedback on the types of training our members and supporters would be interested in.
