The Better Catchments program
has been created to assist the Burnet Mary Regional Group to deliver on-ground
projects in partnership with landholders. Funding incentives are provided to
landholders to adopt land management practices that will improve soil health
and enhance sustainability. On-ground incentives focus on improving
sustainability of farming and grazing practices, to improve soil condition,
enhance carbon content of soils, and reduce the risks of soil erosion and soil
acidification. Better Catchments is funded by the Australian Government through
Caring for Our Country program, and contributes to the Sustainable Farm
Practices target.
The Better Catchments program
is delivered via workshop training, and only participants who attend workshops
are eligible to apply.
