Blackwood and Barry’s Reef Landcare Group extends its sympathy and condolences to the family of Matthew Harding, who took his own life on February 22.
Trentham-based Matthew will always have a connection with Blackwood Landcare through his generous creation and construction of our statue/float Wilbur the Weed in 2014.
Matt gave his time and talent freely because assisting the community was an important priority for him.
News of his unexpected death is a sobering shock for us all.
Information about ways to assist Matt’s partner Freya and four young kids is available here.
Wilbur is the most amazing sculpture. I remember thinking ‘wow’ the first time I saw it.
