The Tasmanian Fungi Festival

26-29 April 2012

The Tasmanian Fungi Festival is a unique gathering of people who are passionate about fungi jointly organised by Fungimap and NRM South. Fungi are a fascinating group of organisms that are often overlooked but play a vital role in our natural world. They also have a long history of human use in food production, agriculture and medicine.

The Festival opens on Thursday 26 April with the Fungi Conservation and Management Symposium that continues through to Friday 27 and concludes with a site visit Friday afternoon. Following the Symposium on the evening of Friday 27 April, a debate entitled ‘Eating wild fungi: Fun or foolhardy?’ will be held with a three course dinner. Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 April will have a variety of workshops and forays covering a broad range of fungi topics. 

Early bird registrations for the Symposium close March 2.

For the program and registration form visit Fungimap’s website.

February Events

Introduction to pasture cropping

14 February 2012

You are invited to attend a training course (free of charge) on pasture cropping - an innovative land management technique where cropping and grazing are combined into a single technique and each enterprise enhances the other economically and environmentally. This practical, down-to-earth course is an excellent opportunity for you to learn how to use pasture cropping and no-kill cropping to increase profitability.

Pasture cropping and no-kill cropping involve the planting of an annual crop into an existing perennial pasture (native or introduced). These systems enable low-risk / cost cropping while maintaining and enhancing perennial pastures for grazing livestock and provide added grazing to fill that winter feed gap.

Venue: Huntington Tavern Hotel, Kempton
Date: 14 & 15 February 2012
Time: 8.45 for 9.00 am to 5.00 pm
Catering: All meals, morning and afternoon teas provided

More info & registration: Danielle Bonnington – Training Coordinator, Advanced Pasture Cropping Co. Ph/Fax (02) 6848 5900 or danielle@pasturecropping.com
