Trees on farms – Torwood farm field day

EVENT DESCRIPTION

10 am to 12.30 pm

Planting trees on farms offers opportunities for farmers to diversify their income through revegetation, carbon benefits, increased agricultural productivity, and timber supply.

This event will include a site visit to a 14-year-old hardwood plantation within a sheep and wool enterprise, and will showcase mid-rotation machine thinning operation.

Speakers

• Bob Gray, sheep and wool farmer, will share his experiences establishing a hardwood agroforestry system in wet, steep country and what he’s learned over 14 years.
• Callam Reynolds from Maffra and Districts Landcare Network will explain how farmers can apply for funding under the Victorian Trees on Farms Program.

Lunch will follow the presentations. Please register to RSVP.
