Biodiversity conservation integrated into sustainable grazing systems (Tasmania)

Summary

The Midlands is well known for producing some of the world’s most prestigious wool. Not so well known is the fact that the wool-producing enterprises in the region are substantially based on native vegetation that can be of high conservation significance.

The Tasmanian regional project, Biodiversity conservation integrated into sustainable grazing systems, looked at how woolgrowers currently manage their native vegetation for production purposes on-farm. The project aimed to take a 'ridgetop to river' approach on how woolgrowers can better manage the natural areas on their properties for both conservation and production.
