The Northern Territory pastoral industry relies primarily on grazing native vegetation. It is in the utmost interest of pastoralists to care for native species, as well as maintain and promote biodiversity.
My name is Steph Coombes, and in this episode I am joined by Dionne Walsh to get an overview of native vegetation in the Territory, and what management strategies pastoralists are using to manage them effectively.
With a PhD in Rangeland Management, and more than 25 years of “dirty boots” experience, Dionne has a unique blend of academic rigour and practical know-how. To start our conversation, I asked her to give me an overview of native vegetation compared to improved pastures.
