Call for photos...

The Loddon Plains Landcare Network is close to finalising our biodiversity blueprint booklet for the network area. In order to make the booklet colourful and representative of  group activities within the network, we are putting out a request for photos from all our groups. The photos need to be high quality files. They can be of group activities, group members, key sites, plants, animals, landscapes etc. Anything that will show off the Loddon Plains Landcare Networks area, from the foothills to the plains.

If you have any photos that are suitable please email them to Anthony Gallacher. This can be done in installments. Alternatively, if you have a bunch of photos you think would be suitable, send Anthony your postal address and he will post out a usb stick, which the photos can be loaded onto and returned.

It would be great to get as many photos as possible. Please alert other members who may be able to assist. Contact Anthony on the details below if you have any questions.
