A network for those who care for Land in Greater Sydney
The Great Aussie Backyard Bird Count is on October 19 – 25. The video below explains what’s involved. There is an app you can download from the App Store.
This is a terrific initiative and will help us see what is happening with our wildlife across the Greater Sydney Area and beyond.
At September’s meeting held at the beautiful Field of Mars in Ryde, we discussed our strategic direction and elected the 2015 committee (see below) as well as some great talks on apps, social networks and our achievements over the past year.

Head over to iTunes Store and download this great new app Environmental Weeds of the Sydney Region produced by Greater Sydney Landcare Network members, Sydney Rockclimbers Mountain Goat Bushcare Group. The Group says “we hope to eventually create an online database for people to submit / share weed data and allow people to personalise the weed list in the app for their own particular area”.
