Today we had a wonderful convo with Mel Marx from Gympie Landcare. Before getting into this chat, I had no idea that Landcare offices were independent and ran their own way - like so many others, I thought it was a government-funded operation. It was an eye-opening conversation that really brought to light the incredibly valuable work that Gympie Landcare is doing on a daily basis, not just for the Gympie area, but also inspiring other organisations to follow in their footsteps. Mel was a great person to chat with and her own journey was one that I found quite fascinating as well. Coming for a tree-change with the little experience she got from her mother and a goal of revitalising a 40ha space... it's a story that you can only admire. The idea of jumping straight into the deep end and "just doing it" is truly inspiring. Mel joined Gympie Landcare to learn more and assist in their mission and utilise her previous experience in organisational effectiveness so they can work to their fullest potential. We discuss a whole manner of things including the numerous projects that Gympie Landcare is currently undertaking from utilising various bugs to control pest plants, to workshops, honey, worm farms, and their own nursery. What a great operation they have here and with such passionate staff, it's hard not to get excited. -- Thank you for watching.
