Why watch this webinar?

'Rewilding' is a topic that sparks the imagination of many, with a range of views about what it actually means. With a 70,000 year history of active management, Australia’s ecosystems that we know and love require people. Rewilding across Central Victoria must also incorporate the modern landscape that people have impacted and created - one dominated by agriculture.

Off the back of our highly popular Rewilding Central Victoria Expert Panel Event in 2023, we are set to host a premiere event - a Rewilding Central Victoria Symposium on September 13-14 this year. This event will deep dive into all aspects of 'rewilding' and what it means for our region through the lens of a range of expert presenters. Subscribe to hear when tickets go on sale.

This webinar offers you a sneak peak of what's to come!
