Unlock your soil carbon potential

There are a range resources, data and tools available to NSW land managers to help uncover their property’s soil carbon potential. The Soil CRC invites you to a free webinar series to help NSW farmers, landowners and advisors:

• understand the latest soil carbon data resources and tools
• learn how to conduct studies for soil carbon projects
• discover techniques to check the reliability and accuracy of soil carbon data.

Soil data access to inform soil carbon management

Thursday 25 July at 1.30pm AEST

Soil CRC Project Leader Associate Professor Peter Dahlhaus from Federation University will demonstrate how to use the Soil CRC’s Visualising Australasia’s Soils online data portal to access NSW soil data.

Dr Linda Henderson and Brian Jenkins from the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (NSW DCCEEW) will demonstrate accessing relevant soil and land data using the Soils Near Me app and NSW Environment’s eSPADE database.

Soil data and land capability interpretation

Thursday 15 August at 1.30pm AEST

Karl Anderson from NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, supported by Brian Murphy from the Soil Knowledge Network, will cover the interpretation of soil data and land capability for optimum soil carbon management.

How to register

These webinars are hosted by the NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (formerly NSW DPI) Soils Unit. You can register for the first webinar on their website.

Future soil carbon management webinars

These are the first in a series of seven webinars to be presented by the Soil CRC and their participants, which will be advertised on the Soil CRC’s website in the coming months.

The next five webinars will be hosted by each of the Soil CRC’s farming systems groups working in NSW and will cover locally relevant and suitable land management activities for optimum soil carbon management.

The webinars are part of the ‘Soil Carbon Capacity Building Resources for Farmers and Advisors’ project, which offers guidance on soil management changes, increasing soil carbon, and can help farmers earn carbon credits. Fact sheets to support the webinar content will be published on the Soil CRC’s website.

This project is proudly supported by NSW DCCEEW through the Primary Industries Productivity and Abatement Program (PIPAP).
