About this document
Near Clare in South Australia an innovative project run by farmers, community leaders and researchers is showing how conserving native grasses can boost farmers’ productivity.
In 1999, the South Australian Department for Environment and Heritage received $683,490 funding from the Australian Government’s Natural Heritage Trust to demonstrate that appropriate grazing management can both allow native pastures to be grazed for production and result in improved conservation of native grasslands. The project was administered by a community group, the Mid North Grasslands Working Group. Since 2003 the Group has been supported by further funding from the Land, Water & Wool program run by Land & Water Australia, the Natural Heritage Trust, and the Northern and Yorke Agricultural District Integrated Natural Resource Management Committee.
General information on the project is contained in the leaflet ‘Native Grasses – a Boon to Graziers’. This Fact Sheet outlines further details of project results.
