Local landowners have the opportunity to sign up for a short course in holistic grazing management.
The course will assist landowners to improve their skills and knowledge about grazing livestock. It will also include discussions and six visits to various farms, a visit to each participant’s property to develop a plan, and online tutorials.
Holistic grazing management course is $150 per farming property and applications close on Sunday July 26.
The short course is part of the Healthy Landscapes program, which also includes a series of free events held over six months that focus on regenerative agricultural practices.
Some of the upcoming events as part of the program include a paddock to plate webinar (July 16), a sheep farm field day in Mount Alexander (July 26), and a planting workshop at Lancefield (July 29).
