YAN and Murrumbateman Landcare has been very lucky over the last few years to have won grants from the Landcare Australia Michael King grant to fund nursery activities.
The 2022-23 grant is funding our acquisition of native seed for 40 plants on our Climate Ready nursery list. For each of the 40 plants that we grow - we attempt to source seed from 3 to 6 different bio-regions across the eastern states, this requires a lot of negotiation with seed suppliers. We also test each batch of purchased seed to ensure its viability before distributing to our nursery team for Spring-Summer sowing.
In our Landcare nurseries each Spring-Summer we sow seed - we then weed, thin and oversee the growth of paddock plants which are usually ready for planting the next Autumn.
Thank you Michael King for your ongoing support of our Landcare nurseries.
