Farming with Benefits field day

Interested in the science of how native vegetation contributes to a healthy, resilient farming system?

In partnership with the Goulburn Broken CMA, we invite you to join us at a field day to learn more about the multiple benefits of native vegetation on farms. The property is around 40 mins west of Wangaratta or 15 mins north of Benalla.

• Matt, a 5th generation farmer, will explain the changes they are making to increase vegetation on their 1000 acre property.
• Sustainable Farms ecologist, Dave Smith, will share research on the value of native plantings and remnant vegetation for biodiversity and productivity on farms.
• Soil scientist, Peter Leppert, from Regenerate Earth, will discuss the relationships between vegetation and soil health.
