Managing Landslip on Farms with Nick Dudley

Landslips have significant impacts on farm productivity and the environment, and the hills of South Gippsland are no exception; but there are things you can do to manage and reduce their frequency and impact.

To learn more about landslip and how to manage them on your property join us for a guided farm visit in the Strzelecki with local agricultural advisor and farmer, Nick Dudley. Nick will point out various landslip and erosion features and discuss how these can be managed.

About the day:

The day will kick off at 10am at the farm where we will inspect and assess a significant landslip and discuss management options. Please ensure to wear closed toe footwear, sunsmart clothing and bring a water bottle and hat. The farm walk may include some steep terrain.

This event is co-hosted by the South Gippsland Landcare Network and Hallston Regenerative Agriculture Group and funded by the Victorian Landcare Grants program via West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority.
