Details

Join special guest speakers at a workshop to help identify dung beetle species, discuss their lifecycles and how to best manage them.

Dung beetles play an important role in livestock systems by recycling nutrients, reducing habitat for parasites and improving soil health.

Tweed producers and farmers are invited to a workshop presented by Ecoinsects and Tweed Shire Council, to help identify dung beetle species common to the region (and those missing). The workshop is being delivered as part of a larger project to build drought resilient beef and dairy farms in the Tweed.

The workshop will discuss the lifecycles of these critical beneficial insects and provide advice on how best to manage them.

Speakers:

Rob Young from Ecoinsects.

Paul Meibusch from Ecoinsects.

Further information:

The workshop will be held at Stokers Siding-Dunbible Memorial Hall, Stokers Siding (244 Stokers Rd, Stokers Siding NSW 2484)

Contact the program leader – sustainable agriculture Eli Szandala at Tweed Shire Council on 02 6670 2400.

Lunch and refreshments provided. Registering is essential.

This project received funding from the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund.
