Event description

We are very pleased to have Fiona Baker from Ag Vic joining us to discuss different options we can consider leading into winter as this dry autumn continues. These include; calculating livestock feed requirements, early weaning, sowing a winter crop, purchasing feed, selling some stock, applying fertiliser, using a stock containment area etc.

Fiona is a Beef Extension Officer with Ag Vic and has extensive experience in feed management, buying and selling fodder, pasture assessment and much more.

There will be plenty of time for questions.

Everyone is welcome to attend, it's a great idea to reach out to a neighbour and invite them along.

Afternoon tea is provided.

The South Gippsland Landcare Network is supported by the Australian Government through
funding from the Climate-Smart Agriculture Program under the Natural Heritage Trust.

The South Gippsland Landcare Network (SGLN) was formed in 1995 and today is made up of 16 member Landcare groups and over 500 families who manage and farm the land. The success of the network is due to the inspiring contributions made by the passionate individuals and volunteers.

Our Vision

SGLN represents and supports communities working together to increase biodiversity and promote sustainable land management.

Our Goals & Objectives

To support and facilitate on-ground action across SGLN and its Landcare groups.
To facilitate communication and cooperation within and between groups and grow membership.
To share knowledge, deliver projects and collaborate with our network and stakeholders.
To ensure SGLN demonstrates best practice governance and supports our groups to do the same.

Who are we

Our network is made up of 16 local groups working to preserve and protect the natural environment, while also enhancing the long-term sustainability of farming in this part of Victoria.

Our members are primary producers, hobby farmers, tree changers, backyard gardeners and environmentalists of all sorts – a diverse group that finds common ground in caring for the land and building community

SGLN is a not-for-profit organisation governed by a board. The board is responsible for the overall governance of the organisation: the leadership and supervision of the organisation’s affairs. The board’s primary role is to protect and enhance the value of the organisation for the benefit of its members and its mission.
