Regenerative agriculture consultant Sam Skeat and lanscape planner Erin Healy facilitated the first ‘Learning Programs’ course for 2023 with a Landscape Rehydration Bootcamp hosted by regenerative farming business F.A.R.M Agronomy near Pittsworth in Queensland.
Farmers, industry representatives and researchers came together to explore the fundamentals of water, recognising landscape form and understanding the way water moves, is stored and cycles through a landscape.
The days were filled with hands-on activities and great discussions about the types of landscape rehydration tools and interventions can be used to address degraded landscapes.
Participants used their farm maps to begin applying this understanding to their property, with Sam and Erin offering practical steps on how to recognise and prioritise areas to improve, when and where to start!
“Very informative workshop that has added to my ability to read landscapes. It has given me more tools to manage flow” – workshop participant
This bootcamp was made possible with the team from F.A.R.M Agronomy and our wonderful hosts Ian and Karen Moss. This educational project has been assisted by the New South Wales Government through its Environmental Trust.
