Farming trees for profit and conservation

Integrating trees and shrubs into farms and catchments can mean wins for both conservation and profit, attendees heard at a Science in the Paddock breakfast briefing held in Canberra today.

The briefing, titled ‘Farmers leading landscape change: ingredients for success!’, showcased the essential role of farmers in achieving sustainable landscapes and resilient rural communities.

Farm businesses, wool production and biodiversity

A survey of 1500 woolgrowers commissioned by Land, Water & Wool, found that more than half of Victoria’s woolgrowers have remnant native vegetation on their land. Many Victorian woolgrowers already manage their native pastures and vegetation to provide shelter and shade for stock, retain ground cover and reduce erosion, and improve the general health of their land.

Sustainable sheep grazing systems for riparian landscapes

Tasmania has a reputation for producing some of the finest and cleanest wool in the world. Helping woolgrowers determine the best ways of integrating good riparian management into sustainable grazing systems was the focus of this project. It investigated the management of riparian pastures and native vegetation, and how different land use practices affect the health of rivers. The study was linked with the Land, Water & Wool Native Vegetation and Biodiversity project (more)...
