People are at the heart of all community matters; they are critical to the success of organisations and community groups who work to protect the environment and restore the land. That is why respecting people, improving the quality of living, appreciating and supporting cultural differences and being good stewards of the land, air, water, flora and fauna are core values of Landcare SJ Inc. – a not-for-profit community based organisation that coordinates Landcare, Bushcare and catchment care in the districts of Serpentine Jarrahdale and North Murray, W.A.This presentation highlights how Landcare is about caring for people as much as it is for Country. It will outline Landcare SJ’s R U OK? Planting Day and Morning Tea, which contributes to the community by generating a range of outcomes including community cohesion, community health and wellbeing, environmental conservation and economic benefits.Presenter/s: Francis Smit.
