Practical management of livestock on rolling country, and what we've learned about wetlands, sediment traps and other tools that can help
Balancing the needs of people, animals and the environment.
Hear about some practical livestock management practices from farmers managing rolling country, and find out what farmers are doing to minimise their impact on the environment.
