Suite of training opportunities for graziers
HE LDC team has put together
T
a suite of training opportunities
that could be useful for graziers in
the BBB.
It is not a complete list, and if you’re
interested in a particular area of
training, and it doesn’t appear here,
please contact the Bowen-based
grazing team.
Soil health in grazing fact sheet
EALTHY soils are the
H
basis for healthy food
production.
Healthy soils are essential
for plant growth, human
nutrition, ecosystem services
such as water filtration, and
supporting a landscape
resilient to drought, flood
or fire. NQ Dry Tropics has
produced a Soil Health
For Grazing fact sheet with
information on key soil
health properties, how to
manage soil health in grazing
landscapes, as well as a list of
useful resources.
Gotta love The DIRT
VERY quarter we
E
will showcase the
achievements and
progress of the project in
The DIRT.
It’s a publication you can
show off to your friends in
the city.
The DIRT is already proving
popular. Since its launch in the
middle of April, 882 people have
viewed the publication (as at July
19). Make a cup of tea, turn up
the volume on your computer,
click on the front cover and enjoy
the read.
Laser level available
THE LDC project now has a state-of-
the-art laser level to help landholders
plan and design surface water
management structures.
Managing the flow of water is integral
to minimising erosion and enhancing
grazing land management, and the
laser level will help achieve that.
