SWAN - South West Agroforestry Network was invited to be part of Balingup SFFD on Saturday 20th April.
We were hosted in the SWCC tent along with a number of other NRM and environmental groups. It was a very busy day and a number of your committee members manned the stand at various times.
Our display promoted the Peer Group Mentoring Program (PGM) and several of the visitors to SWAN display expressed an interest in participating. The poster shown below was part of the SWAN display and shows the reach of the PGM program across the southwest highlighting the mentors in yellow and the mentees in pink.
Thanks to the day, many more people are now aware of SWAN. In fact, as a result of seeing our display and having a chat with a volunteer, a number of landowners have signed up for this newsletter. They will now be able to see the range of services we provide to landowners interested in using trees.
SWAN thanks the South West Catchments Council for having us in their Landcare Tent again this year. Its a great opportunity to meet new people interested in multi-purpose trees and to catch up with colleagues.
Much of the day was spent showing kids how to plant and care for seeds while their parents learnt about the Peer Group Mentor Program
