‘Catchment Keepers’, is a great new program for women farmers in the Murrumbidgee catchment that kicks off this winter that we’re keen for you to know about!

In this episode I chat with Gemma Meier about Catchment Keepers and how it aims to support women – who juggle many roles - to connect, learn and share knowledge, information and social support to help plan and grow on farm natural resource management on their farms in the Murrumbidgee catchment that spans from the ACT to Hay in western NSW.
Gemma is a farmer from Grong Grong, near Narrandera in NSW. She’s a member of the Murrumbidgee Landcare Committee and is involved with diverse, nourishing community projects that include community energy enterprises, the Grong Grong Earth Park and a very special open greybox woodland ‘forest’ on her farm that she, partner Reiner and family have established with the help and enthusiasm of neighbours and city mates.
Such a pleasure to speak with Gemma, a dear friend and member of the Foodswell team – thank you Gem!
