Our Community, Our Environment - The Conference

Our environment is the heart of rural communities. As a community, we cherish the beauty of our natural wonders for a variety of different reasons. Some of us visit the natural world to take time out, de-stress, and unwind. Other work in it, rely on it and many just admire it!

The Our Community, Our Environment Conference brings together leading experts to discuss the latest climate science and explore practical solutions to address climate change. By sharing knowledge and experiences, we can empower our community to make a difference.

Together, we can:

• Deepen our understanding of Southwest Victoria's climate: Gain insights from renowned scientists on climate challenges facing our region.
  
• Connect with like-minded individuals: Network with active community members who share a passion for our environment.
  
• Contribute to a community-led action plan: Work together to develop practical strategies to protect our environment now and for the future.

By attending, you'll become part of a community-driven movement to protect our environment.

Don't miss this opportunity to be a part of the change!
