Caring for Bush Areas on your Property
Dear Neerim District Landcarers
Some of you will be interested I’m sure in an upcoming workshop on ‘Caring for bush areas on your property’.
This event is convened by Springsure Hill Landcare Group, our neighbouring landcare group. They are putting this event on for people and groups across Gippsland, and would certainly appreciate our support.
If you have areas of native bush on your property, or are thinking about revegetating sections of your property, or are interested in caring for bush, then this workshop should be really helpful.
Event details:
When: Saturday 17 August, 9 am to 1 pm
Where: Yarragon Public Hall, 7 Campbell St, Yarragon
I have attached a link to the document with the details including a QR code to register

Sustainable Farming Discussion Group at Neerim Junction
Peter Ronalds is leading a very interesting discussion on Cathy Briant’s Neerim Junction property on Monday, 19th February.
Cathy runs a Brangus breeding herd and grows multi-species pastures on her 200ha farm at
Neerim Junction and has been trialling regenerative practices for several years.
Between 2018-2023 the Tarago Catchment Healthy Farms Program supported a 4 year
demonstration to increase understanding on how multi species pasture established with Soilkee
technology may be used to benefit both pasture growth and species composition, soil health and
animal productivity.
Peter Ronalds will share the results of the demonstration, and Cathy will show us the paddock,
multi-species pastures, and the livestock. An interesting morning is assured!
The attached flyer has details about the time, location and contact information.
As mentioned above, the project has been supported by the Neerim District Landcare Group’s Tarago Catchment Healthy Farms Program and all Neerim District farmers and Landcare members are welcome to attend.
