IECA Events

On-Country Soil Erosion and Sediment Control training

This is an invitation only event.

Queensland’s first On-Country Soil Erosion and Sediment Control training.

This training will be held at the beautiful and appropriate Woodfordia site, situated on the land of the Jinibara people, registered Native Title holders for the Woodford area.

The content delivery on Country takes an empowering shift away from a teacher to pupil model and embraced a collaborative and adaptive approach.

The training delivers a completely unique yet geographically replicable experience. It offers a safe, inclusive, and experiential learning base for its attendees that not only expands upon the best practice principals and techniques from IECA but exposes all participants to landscape and cultural insights only available when leaving the classroom and walking Country. Attendees are invited to both share and absorb integrated knowledge sets that bridge air, water, soil, vegetation, and people.

This training and awareness session builds on the previous training pilot program in conjunction with the Department of Environment, Science and Innovation (DESI), Three Big Rivers Group, Atlas Soils and Townsville City Council.
