Increasing groundcover to build resilient soils in the western Fitzgerald Biosphere

Over the past 12 months, FBG project office,r Jolene Daniel, has been working with a range of farmers in the western Fitzgerald Biosphere to investigate ways to increase soil health across our landscapes, as well as supporting early adopters of transformative NRM practices.

This project covered a range of different approaches including summer-active multi-species, new options for perennial pastures, marginal land fodder sites, native grass pasture (kangaroo grass), as well as utilising the Enrich model in a number of demonstration sites.

The project has just wrapped up, and the final report can be viewed here

This project was funded by the Federal Government’s Future Drought Fund: Natural Resource Management Drought Resilience Program
