Our stories -

promoting community-based natural resource management

supporting our Landcare networks

building partnerships

To further its mission of promoting community-based natural resource management, servicing its member Landcare networks and building partnerships Landcare NSW secured funding in the latter half of 2008 to implement a series of regional trainings of community, CMA and agency representatives in the use of PlaceStories software in each NRM region across the state. To implement this training Landcare NSW collaborated with Feral Arts (the software’s developer) and TAFE.

Conduct of the 13 regional trainings (completed with two-day training workshops in both Murray and Lower Murray Darling early February) proved that PlaceStories software is indeed simple and easy-to-learn. Individual landholders and trainees from CMAs, agency and ‘care’ groups were each quickly enabled to use 20 to 30 digital photos, a narration track and background music track to prepare a 2 to 3 minute digital story of their project. Some trainees arrived “unable to use the mouse” and by day’s end proudly produced their digital project story for locating on Google Map and uploading to their regional website.
