This series of podcasts looks at the impact of philanthropy in rural Australia. From mental health, to environmental issues and tourism, explore some of the projects in remote, rural and regional Australia that have received support and are making a difference.
In our fourth podcast, journalist Cameron Smith discovers that a shared interest in conservation and environment can be a potent driver of social cohesion. We discover how botanical art has been an unlikely catalyst for an environmental project in outback Queensland and discuss the reasons why these projects break down isolation.
Speaking with botanical artist Jenny Mace and FRRR and AEGN Board member Annie Grindrod, we learn the value of people getting involved in projects that take into consideration the wider environment, and how this can be something that relieves the pressure of landowners during tough times.
