Native Grasses: Enhancing Establishment Forum 2016
October 20 and 21, 2016
The Native Grasses: Enhancing Establishment Forum was hosted by the City of Salisbury with support from the Native Grass Resources Group and was attended by expert biodiversity officers, grassland practitioners, landowners, researchers and ecologists from around Australia, whose aim is to establish, restore and manage grasslands.
The two day forum brought together over 100 leading professionals to discuss latest practice and share knowledge as well the successes and failures individuals have experienced. It included presentations by leading practitioners on the need to both conserve existing grasslands and create opportunities and techniques to establish and restore native grasslands.
Proudly supported by Native Grass Resources Group and Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges Natural Resources Management Board
