Understanding Farm Carbon Workshop - Expression of Interest

We are currently seeking your interest in running Understanding Farm Carbon Workshops across Gippsland.

These workshops will be interactive and informative, with discussion around on-farm activities to effectively manage your emissions. They will also provide the opportunity to learn what others are already implementing.

Workshop outcomes
