Increase the biodiversity of your property.

In the upcoming Master TreeGrower course you will learn many things, including how to improve the biodiversity value of your property. You will visit revegetation projects on private land where landowners have planted trees and shrubs to enhance biodiversity.

You will also gain insights into many reasons landowners use trees and shrubs in the landscape, including shade, shelter, forage, timber and bush foods. 

The course focuses on real examples on small and large properties, and will give you new skills and contacts. It’s not your usual course and it costs just $200 for 8-days spread over 2 months. Try it – Day 1 is FREE!
  • What: 8-day course for landowners using trees for conservation and profit.
  • When: Day 1 Friday 28 July.  Continues Fri every fortnight.  9am - 4pm.
  • Where: Northam (venue to be confirmed)
  • Cost:   $200 (ex GST) - a contribution to food & materials
  • Food:  Lunches and morning/afternoon teas provided.
  • Gear:  Paid-up participants receive a MTG hat, MTG gate sign, tree measuring tape, course notes, certificate and more.
