This project saw us partner with the University of New England in a five year project to conduct biodiversity research on New England wool producing properties, including research into the economics of healthy biodiverse properties. The project produced a range of case studies, testimonials and fact sheets. Links to these resources are shown below.

This project was led by University of New England’s Associate Professor Nick Reid. Southern New England Landcare was sub-contracted to facilitate, coordinate and engage woolgrowers in the project and extend the outcomes. The Centre for Agricultural and Resource Economics (CARE) was also contracted to conduct economic analyses during the project. Funding assistance from Australian Wool Innovation and Land & Water Australia is gratefully acknowledged.
