Get To Know Your Dirt

Want to uncover the real dirt about your soils? Landcare and the East Gippsland Catchment Management Authority (EGCMA) invite you to a soils workshop to help you gain a better understanding of what’s happening right underneath your boots. The workshops are free and open to any landholder within East Gippsland.

Participants will learn the importance of soil – its formation, function, structure and chemistry – in a simple and easy to follow manner. We ask that participants  bring along a soil sample from your own paddock for a hands on exercise to determine the soil type and texture of your patch.

Participants can choose from two sessions held on Wednesday evening, 26th July 6pm-8:30pm or Thursday morning, 27th July 9am- 11:30am at 574 Main Street, the Department of Environment Land Water and Planning (DELWP) office in Bairnsdale.

To reserve your place contact Carolyn Cameron at the East Gippsland Catchment Management Authority on 51503582.

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Country throughout East Gippsland and pay our respects to them, their culture and their Elders past and present.
