Grasslands on ABC TV

Did you catch our grasslands project Saving 17 on the ABC television 7pm news bulletin on Saturday November 2?

Journalist Rhiannon Stevens was out in the nursery and grasslands recently interviewing our grassland guru, Ben Zeeman, the farmer turned nurseryman who is establishing the seedbank for the project, David Franklin, and the Woorndoo-Chatsworth Landcare Group’s Susan Bosch for a really great story on the grasslands and the challenges communities face keeping them.

You can read and watch the story online through the links below:
