The day offered a valuable opportunity for peer learning, where producers exchanged knowledge about local conditions and shared strategies to improve drought resilience across their enterprises.
Held at their paddock-to-plate enterprise, the practical demonstration day marked the final stage of the Communities of Practice Project with Lance Mudgway and Tony Wells in partnership with Territory NRM. The project works with producers in developing skills in nature-based solutions so they can plan and implement effective drought resilience strategies.
Producers toured several sites where over the past 5 years, natural materials have been used to create rock weirs and contour banks, designed to slow, spread, and soak water into the soil. Fiona shared in the impressive results of an extended growing season, while Lance and Tony demonstrated principes and designs of Landscape Rehydration, showing how these approached alongside management practices can build drought resilience.
