What Riddells Creek Landcare achieved last year/Options for this year

Here is my address as President to our recent AGM (the Minutes here, the Ppt here).  The Powerpoint has a visual reflection on the three goals of Riddells Creek Landcare, then what we achieved last year and some of the options for the coming year. If anything catches your fancy, keep an eye out here for news on what we're doing on these possibilities.

Our first committee meeting of the new year is 26th August, and after that I'll post some of what we decided to concentrate on for the rest of this year.

Ar the AGM, we explored what environmental philosophers have to bring to the question of what appreciating nature means, and how we might go about that. Here are the slides from that conversation. Thanks to Georgina Butterfield for being with us and stirring  up (gently) some of our assumptions. That's the job of philosophy: to stir up. For references to follow up our discussion, see Environmental Philosophy.

I'll post some pieces that are difficult to get on the web.

With Spring advancing in its slow waltz (here one day, gone the next), it's a wonderful time to be in the garden, or finishing off those planting jobs that you've been meaning to get done this winter.  I'm off to see how Steve my neighbour is going down at the old tip site next door to my place here at Riddells Creek Winery.
