The NSW Catchment Management Authorities (CMAs) have reported major gains in repairing and improving the health of the natural landscape across the State after only five years of operation.

Farmers around the region will be given the opportunity to boost their knowledge of grass species in their area and the role they play in the environment and productivity, through a series of field days hosted by the Border Rivers-Gwydir CMA and NSW Industry & Investment (formerly NSW DPI) next week.

The Border Rivers-Gwydir CMA, Macintyre Development Unit (MDU) 2000 and GWYMAC Landcare would like to congratulate the deserved 2009 winners of the MDU Black-Woods Shield and Resource Management Competition, John and Jenny Gamper of “Pinetrees”, Delungra.
