This year's theme is: “LANDCARE FOR A BETTER FUTURE: THAWAN/EARTH & GALI/WATER”

The event will explore the latest innovations, strategies, and best practices in landcare and conservation. We will have a variety of experts giving engaging presentations, offering interactive workshops, and engaging in meaningful dialogue. This is an excellent opportunity to learn from and collaborate with like-minded individuals and organisations as we strive to care for and protect our land and its resources. We hope to see you there!

Secure your seat at the official dinner and hear from key note speaker, Gundi Rhoades, author of the Food Solution.
