PROJECT
This project is the second iteration of the Make Your Hectare Count (MYHC) initiative. Funded for two years, the project builds upon the MYHC trial project run over the past 12 months in the Perth area and the Lower Blackwood LCDC’s Talkin’ After Hours Online Community & Information Hub.
It is estimated there is more than 55,000 ‘lifestyle properties’ across WA, occupying 650,000ha. If you own a small rural property, you are part of a group of land managers who can play an important role in maintain and improving the health of our natural environment. Your actions can mean the difference between maintaining a healthy, sustainable environment, or one that declines over time.
In recognition of the role small landholders play in keeping our environment healthy, RegenWA is pleased to be continuing work with small landholders in WA’s important peri-urban areas to facilitate on-farm workshops, field days, networking, and other extension activities that focus on regenerative natural resource management practices.
This project will support the development of small landholders’ skills and knowledge, improve connections and networks within the peri-urban community and across industry, to promote sustainable land management practices on WA’s prized small landholdings.
This project will review, update and re-release the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Developments Small Landholder Information Service fact sheets, produce information videos and webinars, conduct local small landholder events and provide other opportunities to increase land management knowledge.
