Corangamite Catchment Management Authority (CMA) and partners are hosting a free, practical field day for farmers and landholders interested in making their dams more resilient in a changing climate.

Join us at the Enhancing Farm Dams Field Day to learn how farm dam enhancement can improve water quality, water security and biodiversity.

We will explore:

• the latest research on how to enhance your farm dam
• practical steps for turning farm dams into valuable habitat
• demonstrations of dam monitoring techniques
• hands-on waterbug and wetland plant identification, and how these indicators can be used to assess water quality
• practical tips on fencing, site preparation and revegetation

Featuring guest presenters:

• Damien Cook, Restoration Ecologist, Wetland Revival Trust
• Nathan Gregory, Biodiversity Field Officer, Sustainable Farms
• Deirdre Murphy, Citizen Science Officer, Corangamite CMA

The day will begin at the Moriac Community Centre, followed by visit to a local farm. Please dress appropriately for field conditions. Lunch is included.

This event is funded by the Victorian Government through the Our Catchments, Our Communities program, and supported by the Australian Government through funding from the Climate-Smart Agriculture Program under the Natural Heritage Trust.
