Bird Friendly Farms - to assist landholders with the process of creating a bird-friendly property, BirdLife Australia, in collaboration with Northern Tablelands Local Land Services, has developed the Bird-Friendly Farms guide.

This guide provides information on what birds occur in rural landscapes and why private land is important for their conservation, the characteristics of bird-friendly habitat, and how you can manage the threats to the birds on your property.

CSIRO is a leader in agricultural innovation, supported by our research farms around Australia, including at Chiswick on Anaiwan Country, near Armidale in NSW.

The Sustainable Chiswick Project is making this livestock research farm a real-world testbed for agricultural sustainability. This project covers all aspects of sustainability, including environmental, social, and economic.

You're invited to our Chiswick site for a special project day where we will share our aspirations for this project and its activities.
