Arrangements for the field day in the Pemberton district on 5 May are starting to take shape.
The program includes short talks by Jess Beckerling on the Forests for Life proposal and by Mark Fraser (CEO, Warren Catchments Council).
There will be a visit to Julian Sharp’s property in the afternoon. Julian is the Principal of Southern Farm Forestry and Landcare Services and currently the Chair of the Warren Catchments Council
He has lived near Pemberton for over 35 years and despite no family history of oil production, he has been producing organic-certified olive oil for four years from the olives harvested from his 2.5ha, 540-tree grove which is mainly comprised of olive-oil varieties. He also has 50 trees for table olives.
Julian has many years’ experience in the farm forestry, plantation establishment, landcare and sustainability fields. Qualifications and experience include the Diploma of Conservation and Land Management, Sustainable Development and Environmental Science at Murdoch University, an accredited Australian Master Tree grower, an active member of the South West AgroforestryNetwork, Peer Group Mentor with the Australian Agroforestry Foundation, a Community Landcare Technician and manages a Land for Wildlife registered property.
Options for a property to visit in the morning are still being considered.
