Join us for the 2025 Canowindra Carp Muster this July!

Mid Lachlan Landcare will be joining the Canowindra Connections Centre & Oz Fish for a fabulous day at the Belubula River. Carp cause so much damage to our waterways, muddying up the water for our native fish & competing for food and habitat. While we’re out there we’ll also be encouraging everyone to bring home a bag of rubbish – healthy rivers are essential for all life so let’s get behind this great initiative and clean up Canowindra’s water front areas.

After the event we’ll be taking the Carp and turning it into fish-based fertiliser. This will be our first venture into this waste-to-resource initiative so who know’s how that will go but we’ll definitely be sharing the journey with you. Here’s some information on Charlie Carp, a commercial Carp based fertiliser that’s our inspiration and here’s an interview by Cowra News from nine years ago with founder Bob McFarlane.

Come along as a volunteer helper

Barbeque duties- cooking, serving and keeping the area clean.
