Welcome from the Regional Agriculture Landcare Facilitator
With the rain that we have had during February, I have enjoyed observing the grass in the paddocks once again beginning to turn green. I have been trying to observe and monitor what is occuring in the paddocks more closely over the past six months. I am hoping that this increases my understanding of natural systems and how they interact.
For anyone interested, there are a number of simple tools that can enhance our observational skills; if anyone has a particular observational tool that they deem useful, let me know so it can potentially assist others.
Warm regards, Kerstie
