NSF course sponsorship in memory of Alan Eagle
Natural Sequence Farming training
Alan Eagle
Expressions of interest are being taken for a partly sponsored ($1500) place on a Tarwyn Park Training Natural Sequence Farming course held at Mulloon Creek.
The sponsorship is a generous donation from Cheryl Whittaker in memory of Alan Eagle and in recognition of his work and leadership of the Hawkesbury Harvest.
Alan Eagle was Hawkesbury Harvest’s primary ‘operations guy’, as he liked to call himself, from the early days of the Association’s formation until 2016 when he succumbed to lung disease. He was highly admired for his capacity to support, mentor, encourage and guide the leadership team of Hawkesbury Harvest, and its member farmers, growers and food producers. This scholarship is given to honour him by Cheryl Whittaker of Cheryl’s Backyard Produce who Alan inspired with his gentle, kind, and firm counsel.
Eligible farmers need to be from the Hawkesbury region and currently farming in the Greater Sydney basin, peri-urban area extending west to the Blue Mountains.
