SUMMARY:(Budget) Backyard Homesteading and Urban Foraging
DESCRIPTION:SLA’s Maker\, Mender\, Sharing Web Group Leader Ellie is running a budget gardening and foraging workshop at this year’s Winter Blooming Festival. Tickets are $15 and available here: https://www.neram.com.au/event/budget-backyard-homesteading-and-urban-foraging/ \nLearn about the abundance available in your backyard and neighbourhood! We’ll go through the basics of how to turn your backyard into a mini homestead regardless of budget or home ownership and how to find edible and useful plants in your neighbourhood. Everyone will leave with a pot they have made themselves\, soil\, seeds\, and a zine covering the things we have learnt. \nEllie is a gardening and foraging enthusiast with a background in bush regeneration. She has a keen interest in community building and people care as a form of resistance and sustainability. Ellie is a part of Sustainable Living Armidale’s “The Making\, Mending and Sharing Web” and hosts a monthly clothes swap and mending space at the markets in the mall.

SUMMARY:Energy in the Pub: In Conversation - Renewable Energy and the NE REZ
DESCRIPTION:Energy in the Pub is an opportunity to connect with locals\, researchers\, government representatives\, and community members who are passionate about shaping the future of our region. Whether you’re a long-time advocate or just starting to explore the issues and actions surrounding renewable energy in our region\, All are Welcome. \nThis year the Energy Charter held an event here in March working towards a Regional Energy Accord\,  in May UNE and Councils held a New England REZ Forum discussing cumulative impacts. In addition biodiversity workshops\, networking and grants projects from a range of groups have news to report. \n\n\nWe are following these dialogues in a more relaxed setting. Join us for Energy in the Pub\, an informal community gathering to keep the conversation going on renewable energy\, regional development\, and what it all means for the New England. We encourage you to invite an interested colleague\, friend or neighbor to help expand the conversation. \n\n\n\nIncludes: Free nibbles\, pizza and pop-up Energy Trivia\nRSVP: This event is FREE but you need to register and will find more details at Energy in the Pub\n\n\nCome along\, grab a drink\, and let’s talk about what a just and community-led energy transition looks like for New England. \n \n\n\nWe hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:RSVP: One Health for a Changing World: Forests\, Farms and Families
DESCRIPTION:The Royal Society of New South Wales New England North West Branch\, in partnership with the University of New England and the UNE SMART Region Incubator\, will host a public forum in Armidale examining the links between human\, animal and environmental health\, and the role regional Australia can play in advancing One Health approaches. \nOne Health for a Changing World: Forests\, Farms and Families will be held on Wednesday\, May 27\, from 5 pm to 7.30 pm at NOVA\, 122 Faulkner Street\, Armidale. \nThe event is free\, but registration is required. \nThe forum will feature a keynote address by Professor David Durrheim AM\, Director of Health Protection at Hunter New England Health. Professor Durrheim is internationally recognised for his expertise in infectious disease surveillance\, zoonotic disease control and evidence-based public health responses aimed at reducing inequity and improving community outcomes. \nProfessor Durrheim will discuss the importance of building a viable One Health network in regional Australia\, drawing on real-world examples of locally significant zoonotic diseases and emerging public health risks. \nA panel discussion featuring Associate Professor Lorina Barker\, Professor Susan Wilson\, Associate Professor Gal Winter and Associate Professor Jacqueline Epps will explore practical applications of One Health thinking. The discussion will be moderated by Professor Natkunam Ketheesan from the University of New England. \nOne Health recognises that human\, animal and environmental health cannot be understood or protected in isolation. Ecosystem damage\, changes in agricultural systems\, animal disease\, food security pressures and emerging public health risks are part of an integrated system requiring collaborative solutions. \nThe forum will examine how clinicians\, ecologists\, veterinarians\, agricultural researchers and communities can work together from a shared evidence base to address complex health challenges that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries. \nProfessor Ketheesan said regional communities were especially important to developing practical One Health approaches. \n“Regional communities occupy a unique position at the intersection of forests\, farms\, families and health systems. New England is particularly well placed to develop One Health approaches that are grounded in real communities and real landscapes.” \nProfessor Ketheesan said the event would bring together expertise often separated across disciplines. \n“The health challenges we face do not sit neatly within one discipline. Zoonotic diseases\, food security\, environmental change and community health all require collaboration across medical\, veterinary\, agricultural\, ecological and social fields.” \nHe said Professor Durrheim’s visit was a significant opportunity for the region. \n“Professor Durrheim’s visit represents a significant opportunity to bring together expertise that is too often separated across disciplines\, and to explore how research can be translated into systems that improve preparedness\, strengthen regional resilience and support more equitable health outcomes.” \nThe event is open to members of the public\, researchers\, health professionals\, agricultural and environmental practitioners\, students and community organisations.
