On Wednesday, November 21, David will lead a guided paddock walk on Henry Crooke’s property “Gerilgambeth” near Harefield.

David was pivotal in the early establishment of the Landcare movement, and David’s property has long been a proving ground for sympathetic land management. David was an early adopter of direct seeding techniques for planting trees, and his on-ground practice has been hugely influential, hosting thousands of visitors to their property since 1989 learning about holistic management, planning for drought, healthy soils and biodiversity.
The Junee Area Landcare Network AGM is November 20 at the Junee Hotel at 5.30pm. All welcome.
