      Regenerative Agriculture in Practice Project (RAPP) 2023 Applications are now open!

      Our 2023 project focuses on a ‘Farm Ecosystems
      for a Sustainable Future’
      and aims to provide that holistic &
      strategic approach to the understanding, application & use of principles
      & practices that work to improve overall landscape health and enterprise
      productivity on farms for the long term.

      The 12 month project includes in depth workshops on
      soil health & managed grazing, practical field walks & demonstrations,
      one on one consultations, and supported peer group meetings. This year for the
      first time the program also includes a comprehensive RAPP Alumni program for
      previous participants AND membership to this community.

      Another key difference with RAPP 2023 is that we have opened the project up to the wider Augusta Margaret River Community – through our partnership with the Lower South West Growers Group , with 50% of the project places going to LSWGG members who live within the Augusta Margaret River Shire but reside outside of the Lower Blackwood catchment.

      Applications are now open for 16
      Grazing Landholders/Managers
      who meet the eligibility requirements, to
      join this comprehensive project. Project participants will be expected to
      be active and engaged members of the project group, & ‘have a go’ at
      practices with support from our project consultants, trainers, mentors and peer
      group.
