Abstract

A Workshop held by the Sandstone Land Conservation District Committee

Lake Mason Station

April 1994

A workshop hosted by Sandstone Land Conservation District Committee (LCDC) was held at Lake Mason station on 28 April 1994. This workshop was based on two previous workshops hosted by the Kalgoorlie and north-eastern Goldfields LCDCs in May 1991 (Pringle et al. 1992). The success of the earlier workshops prompted the rangeland survey team in association with the Sandstone LCDC and the Kalgoorlie District Office of Agriculture Western Australia to initiate the project.

The aims were to provide a summary of local wisdom regarding pasture management for current and future pastoralists and others and to publicise the philosophies and strategies of pastoralists in this area. The local wisdom will be incorporated into the rangeland survey teams reporting on pastoral resources and management in the Sandstone-Yalgoo- Paynes Find survey area (Payne et al. in prep.; Van Vreeswyk, in prep.). This approach recognises local knowledge and the need for land manager involvement in developing suggestions to be incorporated into station management planning (Pringle 1994, Wilcox and Burnside 1994)
