The EXPO was:

- People shared breakfast, stories, knowledge and information
- Traditional culture and landcare knowledge was recognised
- Joan Kirner and Shanaka Fernando provided inspiring addresses
- Landcarers talked about caring for Victoria's natural resources
- New connections and networks were instigated; ideas were swapped
- City people saw how sustainable production really happens
- The Landcare expo marked a new, bold beginning
The Expo delivered on the commitment to action from the 2008 Victorian Landcare Forum at Creswick.
It was a fabulous day. A pictorial Summary Brochure is available here.
Landcare really is for everyone.
