Paddock Plants and Weed Identification
Are you keen to know what native and introduced pastures you have on your farm, and learn about their nutritional value and productivity? Which ones are desirable and which not so and how to increase the overall native base? What are some of the common weeds you have as well, and whether they might be toxic to livestock? Then this day is a great opportunity to take a look at a range of grasses common on your farm in this area. Most grasses are potted and labelled for easy identification. We will also take a paddock walk to look at grasses and weeds in their natural habitat.
This day is being led by George Truman, Senior Land Services Officer, Natural Resource Management - Project Coordinator, Local Land Services
You will be meeting at "Wilgabah", a local art, creative and cultural centre. Set in 660 acres of rolling hills of grasses and native vegetation, Wilgabah is developing sustainable environments in which to operate a farming business including agritourism.
Your hosts, Tania and Rod Hartigan will provide a delicious morning tea using some native bush foods.
Looking forward to seeing you - dont forget sunscreen, hats, jeans and sturdy footwear!
Call Nicky Chirlian, Local Landcare coordinator, 0488056199 if you have questions.
