Exploring Natural Capital

Exploring Natural Capital

Natural capital is the term given to our natural resources - plants, soil, water, animals and other living things, and the services they provide. By managing natural resources sustainably, landholders contribute to healthier environments, as well as potentially access financial gains through market opportunities.

Explore the ins and outs of natural capital with Corowa District Landcare at our on-farm field day at Oaklands.

This event will cover: 

• What does natural capital mean for you, the environment and farm production? Hear insights from our expert guest presenters.
• Find out how emissions and soil health connect to the bigger picture in agriculture.
• Identifying and protecting natural assets.
• View an on-farm revegetation site and hear from a local landholder about his own experiences managing and monitoring natural assets on their farm.

Featuring:

• Dr Cassandra Schefe (Cool Soil Initiative, Principal Scientist)
• Nigel Jones (NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust)
• Emily Wilson (Local Land Services, Natural Capital Advisor)

A free event with morning tea and lunch provided. Everyone welcome.
