Native grasses do more than look good. Do you know that native grasslands need less mowing than lawns, and can be low bushfire risk? Do you know they’re key to supporting local wildlife, improving biodiversity, and creating a landscape that’s easier to care for and more resilient in the long run?

This hands-on workshop, hosted in partnership with Tasmanian Land Conservancy’s Land for Wildlife program offers practical advice for small semi-rural property owners, hobby farmers and mid-sized non-commercial graziers to let your property thrive with less effort - saving time, water, and improving the health and resilience of your property while maintaining its appeal.

TOPICS INCLUDE:

Benefits of native grasses, including less mowing and lower bushfire risks
How to retain native grasslands to reduce maintenance costs and save on labour
How to tell the difference between native grasses and weedy grasses
Grazing and burning
Mowing and no-mow zones
Plant ID and species search

This is a hands-on event. Morning tea will be provided, please BYO camp chair.
