Terrain NRM is supporting an exciting new pilot through a partnership with Ngadjon-jii and Cairns Water (Cairns Regional Council) to rehabilitate a Council water intake at Majuba Creek near Mt Bartle Frere in Tropical North Queensland. Traditional Owners of the area are receiving mentoring in project management and on-ground delivery including ongoing site management.

You are invited to attend Terrain's Annual General Meeting:

Chjowai Hall, 18 McGowan Drive, Innisfail
3.00pm Friday 26th November 2010

Please come and join us to celebrate the year of achievements with our Board and new CEO.  Learn about engaging 'Gen Y' at the forum after the AGM.  Also Raymond De Lai from the Herbert Resource Information Centre (HRIC) will be presenting on the Regional Mapping Portal.

The Forum includes reporting back on those Area Forums recently held around the region and generating further discussion around what you as members/partners/community want from Terrain.

Terrain's John Reghenzani (Manager – Sustainable Industries) was recently sponsored to present at the 12th International Symposium on Biological Nitrogen (N) fixation by non-legumes held at Buzios, some 180 km north of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The conference had over 160 attendees. Presentations were made by scientists based in the USA, UK, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Israel, India, Mexico and of course there were many representatives from South America, particularly Brazil.

Quarantine officers are doing everything within their power to protect the Far North from an amphibian worse than the cane toad.

But while the black-spined toad is currently being kept at bay, international travellers are being asked to help out on the frontline of defence.

Eco-tourism projects across the North are stalling because the State Government hasn't invested enough to make them happen, says Hinchinbrook MP Andrew Cripps.
