SUMMARY:NPA Forum: Managing Travelling Stock Routes
DESCRIPTION:Managing Travelling Stock Routes for Ecological Significance and stock use At Kent house 141 Faulkner St Armidale. \n\n6.00pm- Join us for supper of homemade soups (vegetarian or chicken and vegetable)\n6.45pm- Forum on Travelling Stock Routes with guest speaker Ross Fuller of LLS Q&A\, discussion\n7.45pm– Tea and dessert break\n8 pm- NPA members meeting (all welcome): short update on activities\, time for you to raise issues\n\nZoom link:   https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81670358156 \nRoss has spent 10 years with Local Land Services managing the network of Travelling Stock Routes and Reserves (TSR’s) which criss-cross the tablelands between Inverell\, Tenterfield\, Armidale and Walcha. They are vital wildlife corridors and include some of the best remaining examples of the grassy woodlands that used to cover the better soils across the tablelands. Tenders are open for 5-year grazing leases over many of them. Do stock and graziers always get priority over conserving natural values? How are weeds and pest animals managed? \nNPA is separate from the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS)\, a government department. \nArmidale Branch of National Parks Association celebrated 50 years i1974 – 2024
