Walk through local paddocks identifying grasses, legumes & forbs, & share insights into pasture management including learning how to complete a forage budget. Conduct a riparian assessment and learn ways to maintain riparian areas.

You will travel by bus in air-conditioned comfort. As field sessions may involve walking up to 500m through paddocks and wooded areas,  walking shoes, long trousers, hat, sunscreen, and a water bottle are recommended.  Participants must have the capacity to walk through paddocks and stand for reasonable periods, however, walking will not be arduous nor on particularly steep grades.

This session forms part of our ‘how to care for your rural block course’ but bookings are also taken for the attendance of individual sessions.
