Need a good news story? Join Tony Rinaudo AM, aka the "Forest Whisperer" this Sunday and hear his amazing story of regeneration and hope.

Tony, author of The Forest Underground: Hope for a Planet in Crisis, will share about his revolutionary Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) technique. FMNR turns barren landscapes back into thriving forests - without planting a single tree!

This isn't just about trees. It's about hope. Hear how FMNR empowers communities, restores food security, and fights climate change, all by harnessing the power of nature's hidden resilience.

Join us for a morning with Tony, which will include stories, images, a Q and A, and free morning tea.
