Webinar

Creating sustainable, profitable farms doesn’t happen overnight. It takes years of planning. That’s why Landcare Victoria's next webinar is bringing in AgVic expert Alison Kelly, to answer the question "now what?" and share actions being taken across the state to lower on-farm emissions while remaining productive and profitable. Many of these actions also build farm resilience and can help farmers adapt to an increasingly extreme climate. Alison will be joined by Victorian farmers, who will talk through the actions they’re taking now and plan to take in the future, to adapt and thrive.

Ever wondered how tech can make Landcare easier? iNaturalist is more than just a photo app—it’s helping researchers track species changes, discover new plants, and even rediscover ones thought extinct! 🌼 This session will walk you through the basics, then dive into how member groups, farmers, and individuals can use it to set up surveys, find what’s flowering, and contribute to Australia’s most accessible biodiversity database. Join Eve from WALN, PhD candidate Thomas Mesaglio, Juliet Seers, and Cam Slatyer from CSIRO as they explore the power of iNaturalist for landcarers.
