Summary
Over the past 10 years the Traprock Association, a proactive group of fine woolgrowers from the high country of south-east Queensland, has established a voluntary quality assurance system for wool production and marketing. The group is now linking wool production to integrated farm management and landscape planning and has detailed property mapping and planning underway to identify biodiversity assets.
The project, Integrating paddock and catchment planning: a woolgrower driven approach to sustainable landscape management has followed three phases resulting in:
Improved woolgrower capacity to assess land use and use of integrated scientific information from property to catchment level; More effective wool industry input into regional planning objectives; and An on-line ‘Toolkit’ for monitoring and reporting productivity and biodiversity for profitable and ecologically sustainable wool production.
