It is a fun and educational day, bringing together students to learn about the environment.
Central West Lachlan Landcare’s Marg Applebee said Costa also agreed to be the keynote speaker at the Landcare dinner. “To finish off Costa’s visit, he will be joining us at a new event Straight from your Backyard, which we will be holding in partnership with Parkes Shire Council.”
Costa was in Forbes last year for the Schools Eco Day, Landcare Dinner and Forbes Riverside Garden Open Day. His visit was so popular, Marg said: “We knew we had to invite him back to our area once again.”
When Costa heard about the recent flood events impacting our region, he prepared a special video message, which had been shared on social media.
