Small Skills Workshops
It all begins with an idea. The East Gippsland Women in Agriculture Network decided that a series of workshops on practical skills was required across East Gippsland. The idea is to run a three-hour workshop with an hour for lunch from 10 am to 2 pm, during school pick-up time.
Initially targeting women in agriculture, the audience has grown to include small property owners and others who work in agriculture.
Past Workshops include:
Chainsaw Course
Small engine skills
Rifle Skills
Fencing Workshops
Temporary Fencing Workshop
Tractor Skills
Animal Health
Basic Tractor Skills

Fencing days have been held in Benambra, Bengworden, Sarsfield, Orbost, and Buchan.
