In just 3 days, the 2008 Queensland Landcare Conference will kick off in Monto. Monto is of course in the Burnett Catchment so it is only fitting that the BCCA should make a contribution. So the Better Burnett team will be hosting 2 of the 7 field trips on Tuesday 23th.

Beef, Bunyips & Boonie Doon - will look at Leucena cultivation and how it and herd recording can improve land condition. The tour will check out Native Forestry opportunities in Spotted Gum forests, play a game to benchmark pasture condition, and hear all about BMRG’s Water Quality Monitoring network

Sip’n'Sap - will visit a Cat’s Claw Creeper biocontrol site, hear from Rohan Allen about Native Forestry, find out about Creeping Lantana and a trial using Compost Tea to manage it and finally visit a winery for some wine tasting.

Katie, Louise, and Letetia have all worked hard to pull the tours together and I’m sure anyone on their trips is going to have a great day out. See you there.
