Mount Alexander Landcare Forum – 19 June 2015

Posted on 17 April, 2015 by Connecting Country

If you’ve ever wanted to grow your own timber, learn more about using fire to manage pastures, save a plant from local extinction, organise a successful festival or meet a whole lot of Landcare members then the Mount Alexander Landcare Forum is the place to do it!

The forum will include a series of presentations on topics including: Agroforestry & Landcare (Ben Boxshall), Applying Indigenous Fire Knowledge to Pasture Management (Brendon Kennedy & Paul Foreman), Saving the Silver Banksias of Baynton Sidonia (Clare Claydon) and a dinner presentation on the Lake Bolac Eel Festival and Healing Walk (Una Allendar & Brett Clark).

As well as the talks there will be a social dinner and music from forum presenter and Gunditjmara man Brett Clarke.

The Forum is for Landcare and Friends group members, NRM professionals and anyone with an interest in the topics or Landcare volunteering in the Mount Alexander Region. The Forum is free for Landcare members and $10 for non-members.
