Registrations for the 2015 Spring Workshop Series – Now Open!

Posted on 28 May, 2015 by Connecting Country

Connecting Country’s 2015 Spring workshop series aims to help participants gain skills and knowledge about the values present in the local landscape, approaches to their management, and how to apply this on their own properties for biodiversity and sustainability gains. Because the workshops are held on the properties of local landholders, participants are able to hear and see, on country, from local people about the challenges and successes they have had at that particular location. Complementary to this, expert presenters at the workshops will elaborate on different aspects of landscape restoration. There will also be interactive sessions at each workshop where participants can then put what they’ve learned into practice.

– Sunday August 2 – Living with Fire and Wildlife (Sandon)
– Sunday August 30 – Biodiversity in the Paddock (Maldon)
– Sunday September 13 – Conservation Fencing (Yandoit)
– Sunday October 25 – Back from the Brink (Newstead)
