that we've been working on
We are working on a number of projects in our local area, enhancing and protecting important aspects of our community.
WORKSHOPS & FIELD DAYS
Building local capability and capacity, networking opportunities and information flow. Where needed, the UWCC will support the forming of catchment groups within the foothills to support local communities.
ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE SUPPORT PROGRAMME
Support from Conan Moynihan, Director of Force of Nature Consulting in the form of five Farm Environment Plan Workshops per year. Water quality monitoring for FAP+ requirements and an FEP Maintenance Programme.
WATER QUALITY SAMPLING
The UWCC Steering Group has established collaborative relationships with parties currently holding water quality data. We are in the process of getting a series of water maps to identify gaps in monitoring and have the opportunity to train landowners in water sampling. Data interpretation will be reported back to the wider group.
CONNECTION, SUPPORT, TELLING OUR FARMING STORY
The UWCC is passionate about creating opportunities for greater interaction between landowners, smaller landholders, land managers, communities and youth.
BIODIVERSITY SUPPORT
The UWCC intends to support biodiversity within the foothills. This will be done through a greater understanding of current biodiversity levels and supporting farmers and community groups with addressing areas where they would like to do more.
