Whole systems land management
Permaculture is a concept renowned around the word for successfully taking cues from the natural world in its approach to creating truly productive and sustainable landscapes. We are realising farming needs to recognise soil health, rejuvenation of native species and capture of natural resources like water and soil. But how to go about it? By seeing the whole picture offered by permaculture we can spend time and resources for the greatest benefit. This session helps to prioritise action and most of all, enables farmers to develop a deeper understanding of their land.
Successful stock handling
This will be an informative session with a focus on achieving confident, calm flow in all facets of stock handling which translates into real dollar value for producers in terms of weight gain, feed utilisation and ease of management. Whether you are a large scale producer or hobby farmer just looking to start out, having the right mindset will translate directly into the wellbeing and productivity of your animals. This success then flows on to create a ‘whole management’ approach and appreciation of the animal and how they exist in the landscape.
Tahlia Moore
Tahlia has been working in the livestock industry for fifteen years and is currently the operations manager on a large scale pasture-raised poultry operation in the Riverina, NSW.
She has a strong cattle background, mostly in the Northern pastoral industry. She has experience with a wide range of farm animals, most recently working dogs.
Over the years, Tahlia has developed a great passion for working with both people and livestock to make animal handling enjoyable for all involved. Through her years of hands-on experience and being involved in various leadership roles, Tahlia has developed a keen interest in teaching others.
Tahlia conducts herself, her stock work and her teaching in a relaxed, practical manner with a touch of good humour.
Tahlia is a keen proponent of wholistic landscape management, which extends well into stock management. Tahlia is a dedicated life long learner and recognises how important it is to share knowledge, and also to challenge paradigms.
Natasha Stafford
Natasha has been mesmerised by the natural world from a young age leading her to follow the path of wholistic teaching and design.
She is a fully qualified designer and teacher of permaculture and holds two Permaculture Design Certificates. Natasha has also completed Allan Savory’s Holistic Management Foundation course, and studied at the Mulloon Institute in water management.
Natasha has developed an engaging and hands on approach to learning from the experience of home educating her six children over the course of twenty years. She has also taught the Certificate III in Permaculture at the National Environment Centre.
Natasha has completed a wide variety of permaculture designs, from rural acres to suburban backyards in both tropical and temperate settings and has received an overwhelmingly positive response to her ideas and her service.
