Future Ready Farms
Future Drought Fund - successful grant bid
The OLN has been successful in our application to the Future Drought Fund: Natural Resource Management (NRM) Drought Resilience Program Grants for our project "Understanding landscape and water to manage for drought conditions".
The objective of this project is to provide landholders in the Ovens Landcare Network with resources to plan for and manage drought conditions by increasing the understanding of how water, landscape, and vegetation interact.
We will:
- host a series of events to be held across the catchment area to explore hydrology, water storage and soil capacity.
- develop water management plans with 30 landholders.
- provide examples for the broader community to further increase the awareness of best practice land and water management.
Subsidised Water Management Plans
Are you a member of a Landcare group in the Ovens Landcare Network?
Would you like to work with a local expert to map out your property and your water assets, and be supported in developing a 5 year plan to improve efficiency and drought resilience?
Through this funding the Ovens Landcare Network can support 30 landholders in our area to develop this great resource for their property.
This project received funding from the Australian Government's Future Drought Fund.
