Peel Harvey Catchment Council turned on a great breakfast and gave locals 20 plants each this morning. About 100 people enjoyed the hospitality and the information provided by PHCC in spite of the cold and the wet. LCHRA President Jenny Rose, who also runs the local Landcare group, facilitated the event and the staff and volunteers from PHCC were highly organised and very informative.

It was great to see so many old and new faces coming together and making or renewing friendships. If you have any suggestions for events to bring people together please leave a comment or contact LCHRA through the web page. We would love to see 100 plus people at the hall on a regular basis.
