TWO Loddon Landcare volunteers have been praised for their service afterr each notched up 12 years on the local network’s committee.
Network co-ordinator Will Samson said the contributions of Chris Rothacker and Colleen Condliffe were a display of commitment to environmental stewardship.
Colleen is currently serving as the network’s president.
“Their enduring efforts have played a pivotal role in shaping and advancing the organisation’s mission to preserve and enhance the ecological health of the Loddon Plains region,” he said.
“Colleen, who has served as president for the last two years, has been a driving force in steering the Loddon Plains Landcare Network toward new heights. Her leadership has brought about innovative approaches to conservation and sustainable practices within the organization. Colleen’s influence has been particularly evident, ontributing significantly to the network’s positive trajectory.”
Will said that together with Colleen, Chris had spearheaded initiatives aimed at conservation, sustainable agriculture, and community education.
“Colleen, with her expertise in farming and local governance and Chris, known for his farming and community involvement in the Boort/Mysia area, have both been an invaluable asset to the Loddon Plains Landcare Network.”
The pair’s 12-year journey within the Loddon Plains Landcare Network has been instrumental in steering the organisation towards new accomplishments, Will said.
“Their combined expertise in farming, local governance, and community involvement has made Colleen and Chris invaluable to our network.
“Beyond their professional accomplishments, they’ve played pivotal roles in fostering a strong sense of community within our organisation.
“Their ongoing commitment to environmental conservation and community engagement, coupled with Colleen’s impactful presidency, exemplifies the profound impact that dedicated individuals can have on the health and sustainability of our natural surroundings.”
Will said the network hoped the voluntary service of Chris and Colleen over the last 12 years would inspire other people to be part of the the Landcare movement across the Loddon.
