Almost 75% of the Richmond River catchment area is privately owned by agricultural landholders, and 80% of Casino Co-op members farm in this area.
Recognising how important the health of the Richmond River ecosystem is, the Co-op, together with their farmers, began the River Crystal initiative — focused on supporting farm management practices to improve the health of the river’s 7,000 square kilometre catchment area.
The River Crystal initiative is a grass roots venture empowering local cattle farmers to build their farming landscape into a sustainable landscape — one which promotes food production in an environmental context. It also has the opportunity to generate real ecological change.
This is a free event.
The talk will run for 75—90mins, including Q&A, and will be Auslan interpreted.
