Field Day

In this one-afternoon field day, participants gain a foundational understanding of a farm’s water cycle and our approaches to rehydrating rural landscapes. Participants learn to identify the influence of a farm’s geological and hydrological features and diagnose the health of a landscape. The field day explores a range of strategies – including natural structures – that can optimise a farm’s water cycle and improve landscape function. The Field Day will introduce you to a range of landscape rehydration strategies and tactics.
