Please phone Carolyn 5425 3194 Learning about Local Remnant Grasslands In Aboriginal times, this area of Central Victoria was almost certainly more thinly treed than it is today: it was the stretches of open grass- land that so attracted the early settlers for their stock. Today, while much of the agricultural area is pasture, the species that make up the grasslands are very different from those of 200 years ago. Baynton Sidonia Landcare group is offering a seminar “Remnant Local Grasslands: their composition and finding them” which will look at some of the myriad species that once made up the richness of indigenous grasslands and will include some species identification. We will also be “getting our eye in” for what remnants look like, even if not in very good condition at the moment, and where they are like- ly to be found. This will be followed by some guidance for conserving indigenous grasslands, including looking at the management of stock grazing and possible burning regimes. Paul Foreman will be presenting the seminar and he is a highly regarded and skilled field botanist and ecologist with over 23 years of experience in land management and nature conservation across a range of sectors and in a range of technical, strategic and manage- ment roles throughout Victoria and many other parts of Australia. The seminar will be on Sunday 22nd November from 10.00 - 3.00 and will start at the Baynton Hall. An excursion to a local roadside to look at a reasonably healthy grassy ecosystem will probably be included, but will be dependent on the weather.
