Macedon Ranges, VIC Healthy Landscapes for Healthy Livestock

In Progress

Local farmers and land managers receive free on-farm advice on regenerative agricultural practices. A short course on holistic grazing management centers attention on the health of the soil, water, and livestock. Additional webinars and workshops provide context for the farmer's role in supporting regional biodiversity. Macedon Ranges worked with Greater Bendigo and Hepburn councils to support 875 participants during the program's first year.
