Join Tamworth Regional Landcare for a special Landcare Learning event with Clancy Lester – The Bee Man, a passionate environmental educator and native bee specialist.

Clancy will present at the UNE Centre, Tamworth, sharing insights from his research into Australia’s native bees and their relationships with flowering plants. His work combines on-ground ecological field studies with modern science communication, making complex ideas accessible and practical.
