HCCC Soil Carbon Workshop

Soil Carbon Workshop

The next meeting of the HCCC will be a meeting and information session / workshop on the Carbon

Project. Soil carbon is now becoming more important as the federal government has agreed to

zero emissions by 2050 and farmers will have an important part to play in reaching this target. As

this is funded by the state government the workshop will follow Covid rules as set out in the

Victorian Covid Road Map. (see below)

Thursday 18th November @ 6pm at TCCC at Ruffy a presentation by

Dr Cassandra Schefe, CPSS Soil Scientist, Honorary Fellow - The University of Melbourne, Adjunct Senior Research Fellow – Charles Sturt University

Cassie will talk about the work planned for the three farms in the Carbon Project and all things carbon as it relates to farming and pasture.

There will be time for questions and general discussion.

After the Carbon presentation there will be a short break followed by the regular meeting.

Everyone is welcome to attend this excellent presentation provide they are fully vaccinated.

The State’s Roadmap stipulates - “Community facilities such as public libraries, community centres and community halls, can open if everyone present is fully vaccinated, is under 16, or has a valid medical exemption (indoors at one person per 4 sqm)”
