CURRENT PROJECTS
Featured
FBG is working with local farmers to help implement pasture improvement , fencing off native vegetation and revegetation projects as part of South Coast NRM delivery of The Australian Government’s Climate-Smart Agriculture Program which aims to enhance agricultural productivity, competitiveness, and sustainability
To build farmers' knowledge and capacity so they can manipulate rotations and nitrogen management strategies to increase nitrogen use efficiency and reduce emissions from grain crop production on commonly occurring soil types in this highly productive region, while not compromising (or at least better understanding the compromise) on profitability.
On-Farm Propagation of Anameka Saltbush: FBG are funding on-farm propagation trial methods for Anameka saltbush. Naomi Hall has expressed interest in testing this approach to expand their current Anameka plantings at a pace that suits their time constraints and available budget.
This two year project aims to develop knowledge and water planning tools for farmers who need their dams to work in all years, and be able to make water investment decisions with confidence.
The FBG is undertaking an integrated feral animal control program in partnership with South Coast NRM through the Protecting and restoring the Fitz-Stirling Priority Place for nature and people project. Funded through Australian Government Saving Native Species Program, we aim to;
reduce the impact from foxes and cats on threatened species such as Mallee Fowl and Carnaby’s Cockatoo.
reduce the impact by rabbits on threatened native plant communities such as Kwongkan shrubland
