A guide for small landholders to create productive and environmentally sustainable properties in North East Victoria.
Over three successful rounds, this dynamic program has empowered landholders with essential knowledge and hands-on experiences. Participants dive into a world of practical site visits and real-world examples, equipping them to make informed decisions about their property management.
We’ve taken the innovative Healthy Hectares program, originally developed by Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority and Euroa Arboretum, and tailored it specifically for the North East region. The result? A powerhouse of local expertise at your fingertips.
Along with our comprehensive guide, participants immerse themselves in a blend of engaging in-person and convenient online sessions. Plus, we provide a treasure trove of curated resources for each topic, allowing you to deepen your knowledge long after the program ends.
