THERE WAS A GOOD ROLL UP of people at the Landcare & Sustainable Living Centre, umali barai-ku, Teralba for the 2024 Lake Macquarie Environmental Excellence in Landcare (EEL) Awards. With Landcare Co-ordinator, Simon Lukinski as the MC, there was a sense of anticipation and trepidation as everyone waited for the presentation of certificates, to recognise the contributions made by Landcarers.
