For the Future: Agriculture Meets Environment

Are you or someone you know aged between 18 to 30? Join Corowa District Landcare for a one-day bus tour designed especially for young adults interested in farming, land management, and the environment. Explore the region, connect with others, and be inspired!

A free Landcare event.

Travel with us across the region to visit a selection of local farms, where you’ll explore how natural assets like healthy soil, native vegetation, wetlands and waterways, threatened species and biodiversity intersect with everyday agricultural operations.

Throughout the day, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at diverse farming practices, engage one-on-one with farmers, and take part in open discussions. Learn why natural assets matter to the future of farming and their production benefits, how to assess their condition, and what you can do to protect them - whether you're heading back to the family farm or stepping into roles in the agriculture or natural resource management sectors.

The day will close with a casual dinner in Corowa, bringing together participants, farmers, and the broader landcare community for a relaxed evening of food, connection, and networking.

  • Deepen your understanding of our natural environment
