Agritourism
An agritourism feature of our region is the Landcare Alive self-drive ecotour which showcases a number of sites, easily visible from the road, that demonstrate how Landcare is addressing problems like salinity, erosion, declining water quality and loss of biodiversity. Gone are the days of mass clearing, overgrazing, and ‘cowboy’ farmers. Welcome to the forward thinking, environmentally aware, more productive farmer that makes agroforestry, fencing sensitive areas and creating wildlife corridors a priority.
