Workshop participants will be working alongside local professionals who will be demonstrating practical take-home skills.
There will be a focus on two different types of erosion and discussion of management techniques for both. The focus of the workshop is practical activity where participants can get involved in the repair work. Revegetation techniques and how to revegetate degraded landscapes will be discussed.
