Reflections on a Life of Farming, Biodiversity and Landcare

Gavin chats with Barbara Linley at her Tullymorgan property in the beautiful Bundjalung and Yaegl country of North Coast New South Wales.

In a past life, Barbara was a producer of super fine merino wool in Western Victoria. She shares some of her experiences as a sheep and wool producer, early adopter and passionate Landcare farmer and then a change in circumstances – she is now a custodian of a few hundred acres of Tullymorgan not far from the Clarence River.

She’s been applying the skills she learnt from farming to the regeneration of this landscape and has a passion for supporting Landcare and Regenerative Farming in the Clarence Valley.

This Ground Cover episode is one in a short series where we hear from participants in the Regenerative Agriculture Mentoring Program. RAMP was developed at Southern Cross University. The project has been assisted by the New South Wales Government through its Environmental Trust. You can learn more about RAMP at https://www.ramp.org.au
