The first, a Keyline Peer to Peer Field Day, will be held at Upper Myall on Friday, February 28 from 9:30am to 1pm.
The field day will focus on the benefits of Keyline cultivation.
"Alongside good grazing planning, Keyline cultivation is one of the most powerful tools for increasing water infiltration and retention and reducing runoff and erosion in our heavily cleared and compacted catchments," KGLL coordinator Joel Dunn said.
The field day will cover learning and revising Keyline planning basics, include a demonstration of Keyline laser level surveying and the setup and use of a Yeomans Plow, and also review the Bulahdelah and Great Lakes Keyline project.
The second field day will focus on holistic hydration and be held at Bulahdelah on Friday, March 27 from 9:30am to 3pm.
Andrew Yeo of Yeo Farm Bulahdelah will give a practical and holistic overview of methods and techniques for water-centric agroecosystems.
This will feature a demonstration of a permaculture-inspired systemic whole farm design for farm scale landscape hydration.
It will also include the remediation of an eroding dam overflow into a positive landscape feature, and small-scale techniques for slowing damaging water flows, hydrating living soil and feeding farm biodiversity.
Morning tea will be provided at both field days, while lunch will also be provided at the Holistic Hydration Field Day.
Please RSVP Joel at joel.dunn@glcr.org.au for either event.
