Improving Farm Dams
Event description
Join the Ovens Landcare Network for a farm field day with Sustainable Farms and Agriculture Victoria.
We will learn about increasing the value of your farm dams. Ecologist Dave Smith will discuss the latest research on the multiple benefits of enhancing farm dams including improving water quality, supporting biodiversity, and reducing carbon emissions. Brad Costin will discuss tools to estimate the capacity of your dam and how long the water will last in dry conditions, and how to maintain your dam to get the most out of it.
Lunch will be provided.
Registration is essential. Please bring a drink bottle, hat, and wear closed-in shoes and weather appropriate clothing.
