This workshop will help you to:
- Identify and name the important plants in your paddock
- Identify which plants are useful and which are weeds
- Tell the difference between native and introduced grasses and understand the strengths and weaknesses of each
- Understand what plants tell you about your paddock or landscape e.g. why do some plants grow where they do and others do not? What is this telling you about the soils? i.e. what do these plants indicate about fertility or other characteristics of the landscape?
- Manage the different plants in your paddock
