Vetiver (Chrysopogon zizanioides)
Meet Vetiver, a remarkable grass with deep roots and big benefits. Known for its ability to stabilise soil, reduce erosion, and filter
runoff, Vetiver is a powerhouse for land restoration and water management. Its dense root system binds the soil, making it ideal for creek
banks, dam edges, and steep slopes, while also providing habitat and shelter for insects and small wildlife. Tough, drought-tolerant, and
low-maintenance, Vetiver is nature’s own erosion control expert.
Discover four standout native plants that bring life to your garden and provide vital food and shelter for local birds. In this short video,

cover. Together, these species create a thriving, bird-friendly habitat right in your backyard.
The Burdekin Plum is a striking native tree that’s as beautiful as it is beneficial. Its glossy leaves and dark, plum-like fruits make it a

as a bush tucker plant, its fruit can be eaten raw or ripened off the tree for a rich, tangy flavour. Hardy and adaptable, the Burdekin Plum
is perfect for creating shade, supporting biodiversity, and bringing a touch of the tropics to your garden.

Lessons from the Land - The Sheep Producer Session
Webinar hosted by LLS
When times get tough, there’s no shortage of technical advice – but what’s often missing are the real, practical insights from producers
who’ve lived it. This session is designed especially for sheep producers, offering candid reflections and advice from NSW sheep producers
who have faced dry times firsthand.
Tune in to hear stories, gain insights, ask questions, and take away practical strategies. This session will cover managing flock health and
nutrition during dry periods, making critical farm management decisions, adapting farm practices for resilience, and navigating the personal
and family challenges that come with tough seasons.
