Upper Deep Creek Landcare Network in partnership with Macedon Ranges council will hold a free land management information session in October.
The session will be held on October 7, from 9.30am to 1pm at the Romsey Community Hub, and is for people who are new to rural living, own a small hobby farm, or have plans for rural land.
Upper Deep Creek Landcare Network committee member John Robinson said the information session will provide lots of useful and practical advice.
“The land management ‘101’ information session will be a great learning opportunity for anyone who wants to know more about managing their rural land,” he said.
“Whether you are a new rural landholder or have had a hobby farm for a while, the information session will provide lots of useful and practical land management advice.”
The session will cover a range of land management issues and solutions, so that landholders can put plans in place and take action to better manage their properties.
Taking timely land management action will help landholders save money, time, effort, and can make rural living more enjoyable.
A wide range of speakers will present on topics including: livestock management and animal welfare; fencing; pastures and healthy soils; biodiversity; controlling weeds and pest animals; waterway management and programs; revegetation; running a small farm; responsibilities of rural landholders; and opportunities and benefits of getting involved in landcare.
There will also be a panel discussion of presenters at the end of the session, and a light lunch will be provided. Registration is required by October 2.
