Enhancing Farm Dams for biodiversity and stock water quality

Visit the new Greening Dams demonstration site in Arawata, plus learn how farm dams can provide habitat for frogs!

Join this free event to learn more about the benefits of enhancing your farm dam, for water quality and stock health, and also for wildlife.

Wetland Ecologist David Carew will discuss which plant species to use and how  you can create spaces that attract and support aquatic life (including frogs!). 

Deakin Uni student Mica McCulloch will present preliminary findings on water testing done in farm dams in South Gippsland
