BLOG: Outstanding commitment to Landcare

Congratulations to Roper River Landcare Group and its first life member recipient in the history of the 22-year old group.

At a small ceremony in September, Roper River Landcare Group chair Clair O'Brien honoured Ian Rowbottom, presenting him with life membership.

Clair thanked 'Rowie', who retired in late 2015, for his outstanding commitment and dedication, which she said went beyond his role as a facilitator of the group for more than 10 years.

"The Roper River Catchment Group has gone from strength to strength over the last two decades and at present is regrouping with a united passion on it's way into the next decade," Clair said.

"Thanks are extended to the dedicated members (past and present) who volunteer their time unselfishly."

Clair said Roper River Landcare Group members helped ensure the Roper River catchment area met the environmental, social and economic goals set by the group.
