Landcare For Youth -L4Y
This year Landcare For Youth (L4Y) funding was granted to the Lake Macquarie Landcare Network by the Environmental Trust.

Are you involved in a youth based group that would like some support to develop and implement an on-ground project? Do you have some youth that would like to take a leadership role in their school or community? Contact TIN for a chat so we can lend a hand, it doesn't cost the earth and it may well save the planet.
Children's Nature Watch Journal
Nature is all around us, the flowers in bloom, the birds in the bushes, the bugs in the blossoms. Stopping to look and make a note of what we see helps us to follow the changes in the months, the seasons and over the year.
This nature watch diary has been put together with little people in mind to help them see the changes in the natural world around them and to record what they see.
