Provide opportunities for landholders to build up their own natural resource management knowledge and skills.
Why it is important?
Landholders are in the best position to make decisions about how to manage their own properties. Providing learning opportunities to landholders can increase their capacity to filter through all the information out there, to make the best decisions for economic, environmental and social sustainability. Using a positive approach to promote the benefits of good NRM, to both natural and farming systems, will get more people on board.
Examples of Local Action
- Workshops on a range of natural resource management topics, presented by people who are passionate, knowledgeable and relatable eg. Digging Deeper, soil health microscope workshops, stormwater management, feral animal management.
