On Saturday, Meet Up participants can contribute to the Scrapbooking Project throughout the day.

Through the Landcare Scrapbooking Project, we can join together to tell the story of Landcare in Tasmania, one page at a time.

Hard work and cuppas are the muscle behind Landcare, but they don’t always leave us with a lasting record of the stories, people and moments that sit behind the work.

Scrapbooking gives us another way to hold onto those stories. It is deliberately simple, and that is part of its value. By collecting and creating with all kinds of scraps, we can capture both the simple and the monumental parts of our Landcare experiences.

We’re inviting Landcarers of all experience levels, ages and communities to create a page of their own and add it to the growing story. Your page might capture a particular place, project, working bee, person, memory or moment, or simply something that represents your Landcare experience.

What to bring

Bring along anything that can help tell your Landcare story. This might include:

• photographs, old or new
• letters, flyers or other documents
• drawings or poems
• dried leaves or flowers
• tea bag tags or other small objects
• something you found in your pocket after a working bee
• anything else that helps tell your story

We can help scan and print valuable photographs, documents or other items that you would like to keep, so you can use a copy in the scrapbook and take the original home.

Can’t think of anything to bring?
That’s fine too. You can create or collect something during The Gathering to add to your page.

Landcare Scrapbooking is part of the Friday Social Gathering and continues throughout the Saturday Meet Up, giving you more than one chance to add your page to the story.

This project is led by Maria Duynisveld in compliment to her PhD research into Landcare in agricultural Tasmania.
