Vegetation Management Workshop Overview– This one day workshop gives producers the tools needed to understand the administrative and regulatory requirements of the Vegetation Management Act 1999. Landholders received advice on lodging a PMAV, help in understanding and validating regional ecosystem maps and an explanation of exemptions such as fire breaks and fence lines. Participants receive the latest RE maps and satellite images of their property as well as a comprehensive workbook. Workshop cost is $100 per enterprise.

 

Extension Vegetation Management Workshop– This ‘abridged’ vegetation management workshop is a 3.5 hour condensed version of our full vegetation management workshop and its purpose is to educate staff about the Vegetation Management Act and what it means for landholders. This workshop is aimed at other interested parties eg. regional groups and is not recommended for landholders.

 

Computer Mapping Workshop Overview– This one day workshop covers fundamental computer mapping concepts and principals. Participants are taught how to display available information, generate their own data and present data clearly and effectively using maps. AgForward provides digital data, including satellite images, RE maps and property boundaries that can be used in many mapping programs. Workshops cost is $100 per enterprise.

 

GPS Essentials Overview – This half day workshop provides practical training in the use of GPS (Global Positioning System) units for landholders. Participants will learn about setting up a GPS correctly, understanding GPS accuracy, working with waypoints and tracks, measuring areas & distances and downloading and uploading information into a computer. AgForward provides use of GPS units for those without their own plus a GPS workbook and Pocket Guide (an illustrated booklet of how to use the GPS). Workshop cost is $50 per enterprise.

 

AgForests Overview AgForests assists producers who manage, or want to manage their property for native forest timber production (forest practice) in conjunction with grazing, horticulture and cropping (including cane), plus provides training and support to the timber industry.  AgForests provides guides and other information on forest management, forest products & marketing, burning and model contracts for timber sales.
