Our latest #Podcast #riverchampions has been launched in collaboration with @nswdcceew
Have you ever visited a wetland in NSW and wondered about its story? Now you can learn all about these special places before you go!
The River Champions podcast, celebrates the incredible efforts behind restoring New South Wales’ waterways.
In one of three episodes, we explore the inspiring story of Whittaker’s Lagoon—a hidden oasis nestled in the cotton plains. Once a dry patch of land, the lagoon has been transformed into a thriving wetland, thanks to the dedication of the NSW Water for the Environment team and the incredible efforts of some passionate people in the local community.
“There’s something about #whittakers Lagoon,” says Harry Davey from Ozfish. “It’s a tiny oasis people often overlook as they drive by at 110 kilometers an hour.”
This wetland is more than just a sanctuary for wildlife—it’s a living classroom and cultural hub. As Kerrie Saunders from @Yinarr-Ma Bush Tucker Tours shares, “The old people used these species for food and fibre for a very long time. You don’t need a tractor to eat healthy.”
🎧 Listen to this episode and explore the remarkable transformation of Whittaker’s Lagoon. With three episodes already available, don’t miss the other two incredible stories!

New Series: River Champions Podcast! 🌿
Curious how a dry wetland is brought back to life? Tune in to hear how a barren landscape was turned into a wetland oasis.
We’re proud to launch a brand-new podcast series, created in collaboration with the NSW Government’s Water for the Environment program, part of the @NSW of Climate Change, Energy, Environment and Water.
This episode highlights the inspiring restoration of Paika Lake Wetlands in New South Wales. After a century of being dry, the dedication and passion of individuals like our guests, Di Williams, Peter Morton, and James Maguire, have brought this wetland back to life, creating a thriving ecosystem that supports a diverse range of wildlife.
This is one of three episodes—be sure to catch them all!

Ever wondered how regenerative farming can restore both land and wildlife? 🌱
Thank you to Di Ferguson and Stephen Shipton who have shared their inspiring journey to do just that. After years of high-input dairy farming, they discovered how to revitalise their soil and reduce stress on their land by transforming their approach.
Alongside improving soil health, they’re planting a koala habitat corridor, connecting vital wildlife pathways to Biamanga National Park. It’s a win for both nature and farming! 🐨
Thank you to Local Land Services NSW for their collaboration in creating this film.

See how farmers in the NSW Northern Tablelands are working together to rehydrate their landscapes! 💧 In partnership with the Mulloon Institute and Soils for Life this inspiring project showcases regenerative practices that strengthen water systems, improve resilience, and prepare for climate challenges.
🌱 We loved creating this engaging composting video for Local Land Services NSW and the NSW Environment Protection Authority! Perfect for high schools, it dives into the composting life cycle—from home FOGO to commercial systems—showing how #compost boosts crops, saves resources, and closes the loop on organic waste.
We’re excited to have worked with Western Local Land Services to produce Going Ahead with Goats, a 10-episode #podcast series exploring the growing goat industry in Western NSW. Listen to 'The Gourmet Goat Lady' who features in the first episode!

Clean coastal catchments are vital for healthy waterways and sustainable farming. It’s been a pleasure working with Local Land Services NSW and Farmer Will Russell to create this film highlighting the importance of sustainable farming practices.
Thank you to all the women who have shared their stories with us. Over 8yrs of Grow Love the rural women we have met have supported and inspired one another. It has been a joy and we are so grateful for you to open your homes and your hearts. 🌱💚
This International Day of Rural Women’s theme is “Rural Women Sustaining Nature for Our Collective Future: Building climate resilience, conserving biodiversity, and caring for land towards gender equality and empowerment of women and girls.”
I think every woman we have met is contributing to this mission.

We collaborated with Landcare NSW to develop a series of training packs and videos that explore nature-based solutions to reduce disaster risks and help communities adapt to an ever-changing #environment.
This is one of the videos we created for them on planting for fire asset protection.
