Hear from Glenn Landsberg
Glenn is a farmer, rehydration consultant and pilot focused on restoring landscape function in Australia’s rangelands. His aerial perspective helps him identify degraded areas and implement targeted earthworks that slow water movement, leading to improved soil health and promoting grass growth. By enhancing moisture retention, his approach helps to create more resilient and productive landscapes.
