Partnering with Nature for Enhanced Productivity - Success Stories and farmer insights

Monday, 21 October
9:30AM - 2:00PM
The Riverside Restaurant, Inverell

You are invited to a morning tea and lunch with our group of passionate farmers who have embarked on a shared journey to explore the vital role of biodiversity in farming.

This event is free for both participants who have been involved in the three month program as well as farmers and community who are wanting to find out more about some of the outcomes of the project and mutual learning.

✨ What to Expect:

This workshop will feature an informal Q&A session where you can connect with fellow farmers who have transformed their operations through biodiversity. They’ll be eager to share their stories, including both successes and challenges!

🔑 Bring your Questions:

🌱 How can on-farm biodiversity enhance profitability
🐾 What threatened native species might be on your land, and what are the best practices for their protection
🌳 Which trees are most beneficial for promoting biodiversity, habitat protection, and ground cover
🌲 What steps should you take to manage pine trees and other invasive species, and why is this important?

Join us for this enriching experience where we can learn from each other and foster a more productive and harmonious relationship with nature! 🌾🤝
