Women in agriculture and environmental pursuits have often been underrepresented. Celebrating their resilience, strength and achievements across the Murrumbidgee region is important to show that women can ‘lead the way’.
Hay Plains Landcare along with Riverina Local Land Services organised a “Women of the Riverina Landcare Conference” in Hay to celebrate NSW Women’s week for 2024. The organisers enlisted an incredible lineup of inspiring speakers and engaging activities.
Women spoke on topics including agriculture, gardening, environmental conservation and entrepreneurship. Topics covered included the Black Falcon, biosecurity, Plains Wanderers and Yam Daisies. Women also spent time in the workshops to collaborate, uplift, empower and share ideas with each other. Workshops included watercolour, seedball rolling, acrylic hydro dipping and nature journaling.
