Dryland Restoration Workshop

Join us for a workshop on restoring native vegetation and habitat inthe lowest rainfall areas of Tasmania. Some areas of Tasmania have an average annual rainfall as low as 500mm a year, which can make revegetation projects a real challenge. So how can you make sure your plants survive once they're in the ground? What challenges will restoration projects face in a hotter, drier climate? How important is it to have plants local to your specific area?

Join us in Campania on the 21st of September to discuss all of these questions and more!

What to expect:

On the day we will hear from

  • Southern Midlands Council - NRM/Landcare Unit on Dryland Planting Techniques,
  • Dr. Tom Remenyi from the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre on how climate change will impact land restoration projects in dry areas,
  • Anna Minchin from Landcare Tasmania on overseas examples of dryland restoration techniques and legalities of water design,
  • Extra Guest Speaker - TBC.

What to bring:

Lunch and morning tea will be provided. Please let us know if you have any dietary requirements. Bring a drinkbottle and some questions!

 

Who can come:

Everyone is welcome! 

It would be great to see a mix of Landcare members, primary producers and private landowners come along.
