Dung Beetle Workshop - Identification, Breeding and Q&A
Location
About
Dung beetles are the ultimate exponents of the circular economy. They are ecosystem engineers that will remove dung from the surface, recycle the nutrients back into the soil and reduce pests and parasites.
Central Tablelands Local Land Services will be hosting this free workshop with Russ Barrow from the Gulbali Institute at Charles Sturt University. Russ will answer your questions about dung beetles and will demonstrate ways to start breeding them on your farm.
- Do you have dung beetles on your land and if so which ones?
- Do you have enough to provide optimal ecosystem services?
- Want to know more about which species are suitable for your farm?
- What impacts do fire, flood and drought have on dung beetles?
- Learn how to construct a nursery and about management practices to encourage dung
beetles to thrive on your property.
- Bring some dung beetles along for identification.
