Grassland Field Day hosted by Minyip and District Landcare Group
Sunday 25th October, 1-3:30 pm, Minyip Caravan Park
Join us for a grassland field day with Dan Frost from Seeding Victoria. Dan is the seedbank manager and will cover grass ID, seed harvesting and seed preparation for revegetation.
We’ll start at Minyip Caravan park, followed by afternoon tea and then head to Boolite to check out a native grass pasture.
Grasslands are some of the most depleted ecosystems of our region, but yet revegetation efforts often focus on trees and shrubs. Yarrilinks is seeking to address this by building capacity, and growing knowledge and appreciation for grasslands, with an ultimate goal of increasing the grassy component of our reveg efforts.
PLEASE BRING:
Long pants and closed toe shoes as we will be walking through grassy areas
Hat, water bottle and sunscreen
This event is funded by a Victorian Landcare Grant from the Victorian Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action.
