SUMMARY:John Paul Memorial Lecture - Deep nature connection: caring for nature in crisis
DESCRIPTION:‘We cannot protect something we do not love\, we cannot love what we do not know\, and we cannot know what we do not see. Or hear. Or sense’ – Louv. \nNature needs us more than ever – and we need nature. As we face the increasing biodiversity crisis fuelled by environmental destruction and climate change\, deepening our connection with nature is vital. By deepening our understanding of nature\, we can better protect it. \nHow do we encourage more people to connect with nature? How do we inspire people to care? And how does this relate to private land conservation and restoration efforts across Victoria and Australia more broadly? \nOn 17 October\, 7pm AEST\, join us for a free webinar on Zoom to hear from three experts whose work focuses on human-nature connection: Lily van Eeden\, Claire Dunn and Fiona Murdoch.

We have a great group of volunteers but are also seeking more volunteers to assist in all areas of operating the Repair Cafe (on site and behind the scenes) as our visitor numbers grow.

SUMMARY:Border Bushwalking Club - Munderoo logbook (Carboona Gap) > Lankeys Creek campsite/Hume and Hovell Track
DESCRIPTION:This walk offers a lovely mix of native bush\, expansive views and open grazing country\, and  is a lovely descent (so the H & H website says) of 430m from the Munderoo plateau down to the property “Clear Springs”. The Track goes through native bush and spectacular grass tree stands on Munderoo plateau\, with views to the Murray River and Victoria. It then enters open grazing country\, where it peters out\, but there are marker posts dotted through the paddocks (as long as cows haven’t knocked them down)  to follow. We cross the new bridge over Coppabella Creek and then follow Lankeys Creek through grazed bush to Lankeys Creek campsite\, one of the campsites used on the original expedition. \nI have not done this walk before and it will be my first “real grade 3 walk” after a lengthy time off tracks due to injury.  Please understand that it will not be a fast walk.  A car shuffle is required.  Approx 15km \n\nGrade 3 Medium\nLeader: Deb\nPhone: 0410047884 before 8pm\nParticipant numbers: Up to 10\nFinal booking date: Wednesday 30th October\nFor more information and updates about BBC activities\, check www.borderbushwalkingclub.com.au\n\n
