About this document
Think station hand – think hard riding and mustering cattle. Or that's what you’d expect.
But Northern Territory station hands are being encouraged to take a whole new spin on life by recording wildlife and looking at how their work affects biodiversity.
Outback pastoral workers are in the bush every day. What they see and how they help in managing the land can be critical for sustainability. Their observational and practical skills and experience are now being tapped as part of a rangelands management course that comes to their workplace.
Based in the Territory section of the Barkly Tableland east of Tennant Creek, the Barkly Rangeland Management Course provides training in a variety of land management situations including biodiversity issues. Incorporating biodiversity into this course shows the growing recognition of how important long term sustainability and environmental protection are to managing outback properties.
