Subject: Landcare Australia News: Free Land Management Presentations
Improve your land management and get recognition
Over the next few months the Australian Land Management Group (ALM Group) is hosting free Australia-wide information presentations for landholders who want to improve their land management and obtain recognition for their efforts.
The presentations, which last around two hours, set out how landholders can be part of an internationally recognised land management system.
Advantages of taking part in the system include:
- showing customers and the community that you are looking after the land;
- supporting green agriculture credentials; and
- improving farm productivity and protecting natural assets.
The ALM Group was established by landholders to help landholders improve environmental outcomes in ways that enable your achievements to be recognised and rewarded.
The ALM Certification System (ALMCS) is supported by customised web-based software and accredited trainers and auditors.
The low cost FarmReady option is now available to develop ALM certification for your property.
Interested landholders can register online at www.almg.org.au or by contacting Julia Telford on 0427 580 399 or email Julia.telford@almg.org.au
The ALM Group is supported by Elders, Australian Wool Innovation, Landcare Australia, several catchment management/NRM agencies and the Japanese textile company Onward Kashiyama.
