Peter Andrews to share knowledge
One of Australia’s best known presenters on natural resource management will
visit the central Burnett next month.
Mr Peter Andrews, the founder of the Natural Sequence Farming approach, will
present a one day workshop on 16 July 2010 on the property of D & M Young,
171 Jankes Rd, Mundubbera. The workshop will consist of a half day seminar followed
by an on-field demonstration of his innovative approach which he trialled and
tested on his property near Bylong in the Upper Hunter Valley of New South Wales.
Mr Andrews featured in a four part series on the ABC TV's Australian Story program.
Following this, ABC Books released 'Back from the Brink', which describes Peter
Andrew’s motivation and gives an overall description of his Natural Sequence Farming
process. The release of his second book, 'Beyond the Brink' has increased the
demand for him to share his knowledge.
Many people believe Peter Andrews is way ahead of his time. He has gained fundamental
insights to the natural functioning of the Australian landscape that leave him
almost without peer. He has applied these insights in restoring his and other
properties to fertility levels that he says existed upon European arrival in this
country.
The cost to attend the workshop is $50 per person, which includes morning tea
and lunch. Places are limited therefore registration is essential. Registration
forms are available by telephoning the Burnett Catchment Care Association on (07)
4166 3898 or sending an email to admin@burnettcatchment.org. Registrations close on 13 July 2010.
Mr Andrew’s visit is an initiative of the Burnett Mary Regional Group and funded
under the Australian Government's Caring for Our Country.
