Ageing in rural Nillumbik - let's talk land management

Managing rural land is rewarding but hard work. As people age, keeping land productive can be overwhelming.

Through community-led approaches, we want to help ageing landowners remain on their land and explore ways they can manage the threat of pests, weeds, and fire.

Our Smart Farms: Sustaining Land-Sustaining People project undertook a co-design process with community members during 2021 and 2022 to explore the potential for community-led solutions.
