Farm field days coming up

Discover how farmers across the catchment are protecting the environment, boosting productivity and benefiting the bottom line.

During September 2025 and March 2026, West Gippsland CMA is running a series of workshops showcasing the benefits of sustainable agricultural practices and how farmers can tap into local expertise, knowledge and opportunities.

Held in partnership with local Landcare groups, the free workshops will cover a range of topics including soil health, managing biodiversity, effluent management, shelterbelts and biofertilisers.

Led by experts and hosted at local farms, the field days are an opportunity to learn about the benefits of sustainable agriculture and carbon farming while exploring opportunities available for agribusinesses in the West Gippsland catchment.
