We love seeing our local schools embracing Landcare! The Village High School in Ryanston this year had four sessions with Lisa, our Education Training and Communications Manager, as part of their Junior Landcare grant. Water macros & quality testing, citizen science, a visit to 30 year old revegetation at Paul Speirs place and their own planting day on the school site to protect and filter water entering their wetland. All students were involved in the planting, we can't wait to see this site grow and work with their students into the future!

Virtual Fencing Demonstration Field Day- Monday 30th November.

Join us at the Archies Creek property of Ric Oldham for this virtual fencing demonstration day.

In mid-2026, following changes to Victorian legislation earlier in the year, Ric Oldham converted his property to virtual fencing. Since this time numerous suppliers have entered the Victorian market. Virtual fencing uses GPS-enabled collars to let producers set and manage cattle grazing boundaries through a digital platform rather than physical fences, giving greater flexibility and control over grazing management decisions. Cattle quickly learn to respond to sound and vibration cues delivered from the collar. At the field day, Halter staff will explain how the technology works, and Ric will share how it is transforming his enterprise.
Come along, ask questions, and see firsthand what virtual fencing could look like on your farm.

Biosecurity measures will be in place on the day. Please ensure your vehicles and footwear are clean prior to this farm walk. I look forward to seeing you at this exciting event.
