The field day will be held at 2 locations,  Wondowie and Tumblong with the same information to be  presented at each site.

Guest speaker will be Graeme Hand, holistic grazing advocate and CEO of Stipa (Native Grasses Association) who will provide hands-on grazing management tools to maintain and rebuild perennial grasslands and ground cover.
