Are you a teacher, parent or kid in the NSW Western Local Land Services Region? Your school could win prizes by designing an artwork that encapsulates our exciting new project!

About our project:
The expansive wide-open spaces of Australia’s rangelands make up majority of our continent. ‘Rangelands Living Skin’ is a new project led by Meat & Livestock Australia and NSW Department of Primary Industries recognising the importance of productivity and resilience in our rangelands. Collaborating with scientists and farming families, the project will focus on soil, plants, animals and people as the living skin of the rangelands.

Entries will close on the 31st of May and the winners will be announced on the 22nd of June. Find out more about the project and how your school can be part: soilsforlife.org.au/rangeland-artwork/ ... See MoreSee Less
