Biological
and Soil Carbon Farming:
Ravensbourne
and District Landcare Group (RDLG) is looking for expressions of interest for
participation in a project, funded by the Australian Government, that will
introduce sustainable farming methods to district landholders in order to
improve soil health and the sustainable management of land under cropping,
horticulture and grazing.
The project will involve a number of field days including a community
awareness day (April), workshops (Nov / Dec) and further field days in early
2013. The field day in April will include a session on soil sampling and
analysis, and interpretation of test results.
If you are a landowner who is interested in improving soil health and
would like to participate in this project please answer the questions below and
send your reply by 15th March next.
Please note that opportunities for subsidised soil analyses and field demonstrations are limited.
