SPEAKER

N/A

The focus of this workshop was to assist producer on key topics including how to identify soil types, limitations and risks to soil integrity, how to avoid and mitigate erosion on fence lines and access tracks, how to limit soil and silt loss during extreme weather events, how to treat flood-related washouts and erosion to restore agricultural productivity and how to manage and recover flood damaged grazing land. I also presented results from a study investigating the impact of the 2019 flood on land condition and recovery. The workshops were well received, and the key skills and knowledge attendees received at the workshops has allowed them to upskill on their expertise using graders and other machinery to achieve soil conservation outcomes. 10 people attend the Morella Station Workshop and 14 people attended the Villadale Workshop in Richmond. The workshop was organised by Southern Gulf NRM.
