Landscape Function Analysis workshops - Orange and Wagga Wagga

Date:

8 Aug 2011 - 9:00am

Landscape Function Analysis (LFA) is a procedure for the objective assessment of ‘soil health’ and reflects the capacity of the soil to act as a habitat for plants.

LFA is easy to learn and needs only simple field equipment, yet is based on careful scientific research. It was developed over 30 years by David Tongway and other CSIRO scientists.

It is being widely used around the world and has great potential for use by landholders.

Communities in Landscapes will be conducting LFA training workshops at the following locations:

OAI Conference Centre Orange - Monday August 8th 2011

Indyamara Room Charles Sturt University Wagga Wagga - Tuesday 9th August 2011
