This three day workshop will help you to:

  • Assess the condition of your paddocks and improve their carrying capacity
  • Understand the relationships between pasture, water, soils, woodlands, biodiversity, fire and weeds
  • Determine the financial impact of a range of grazing management options

The workshop consists of six modules:

  1. Understanding the grazing ecosystem
  2. Managing grazing
  3. Managing fire and the tree-grass balance
  4. Role of sown pastures
  5. Managing weeds
  6. Developing a grazing management plan

A locally-relevant case study property is used to explore different management options. You will help the owners of the case study property solve their management issues and develop a grazing land management (GLM) plan. At the end of each session you will work on your own issues and begin developing your own GLM plans.

Each workshop is limited to 12 properties, so early registration is essential.

The cost of the workshop is usually $1,650 plus GST but is being offered at no cost thanks to funding from the Reef Wise Farming Initiative.
