To coincide with the 2023 Regenerative Agriculture Conference in Margaret River 6-8 September 2023, WALN was delighted to release its new video ‘Exploring Soil Health’ providing a valuable landcare resource on soil health.
During 2023 the WA Landcare Network engaged Soil Health Researcher, Professor Emeritus Lyn Abbott to speak at a number of soil health events across WA hosted by WA Landcare member groups. Appetite for more information at these events stimulated the development of the short film ‘Exploring Soil Health’, created by Andrew McKenzie of Splendid Films.
Andrew worked closely with Lower Blackwood Landcare and a number of farmers and producers in their catchment, and beyond, to capture the latest thinking on soil health and its vital role in production as well as stewardship.
The film also contains Professor Abbott speaking about the importance of soil health and the Soil Health App she developed and Soil Champion, Blythe Calnan shares her wisdom and the bucolic vistas of her farm.
The film is live and freely available on WA Landcare Network YouTube Channel at the following link https://youtu.be/fZVcZbvDkcw and on the WA Landcare Network Facebook Page.
Thank you to the WA Government’s State Natural Resource Management Program WA and National Landcare Network the for their support for this project.
