The Torbay Catchment Group is excited to be working with internationally renowned & highly respected ground cover & soils specialist, Dr. Christine Jones. She has a PhD in Soil Biochemistry and a wealth of experience working with innovative landholders to implement regenerative land management practices that enhance biodiversity, increase biological activity, sequester carbon, activate soil nutrient cycles, restore water balance, improve productivity and create new topsoil.
Join us for an evening with Dr Christine Jones and learn about the truly amazing connections between plants, microbes & the soil.
You will discover how to:
- Increase the water holding capacity of your soil
- Achieve flourishing communities of beneficial soil microbes
- Maintain year-round species rich pastures

Includes a delicious grazing table.
In 2001 Christine received a Community Fellowship Award from Land and Water Australia for “mobilising the community to better manage their land, water, and vegetation.” Three years later she launched Amazing Carbon as a means to widely share her vision and inspire change.
In her long career Christine has published more than 50 scientific papers on soil science, and has organised and participated in workshops, field days, seminars and conferences throughout Australia, and around world.
