Roots So Deep, Wednesday 30 April 2025 5:30 – 9 pm

Tweed Landcare and Tweed Shire Council are excited to present a sneak peek community screening of the new docu-series Roots So Deep (you can see the devil down there), brought to you by Soilcare. The event will showcase 2 episodes of the new 4-part series which takes a deep look at how livestock and soil can help be a solution for climate change, bringing together stories of regenerative grazing farmers and their neighbours who are using generational practices of farming, along with scientists to measure and compare what’s happening on the farms.

Farm Walk and Talk, Thursday 1 May 2025 9:30 - 11:30 am

Join Tweed Shire Council's Sustainable Agriculture Program as we walk and talk our way around Sherelle's farm at Back Creek, near Tyalgum in the Tweed Shire.

Sherelle has been on the property for 5 years, running approximately 25 head of livestock while doing what she can to maintain and enhance the farms natural values. Come along to:

• hear Sherelle’s story
• learn about the history of the farm and the area from Gary, the previous property owner and 5th generation farmer
• see how fencing has been used to protect high conservation value native vegetation, creek banks and dams from livestock
• network with fellow farmers, and
• develop ideas for managing livestock and natural assets on your own farm.

All local farmers are welcome.
