The Otago Regional Council is hosting free intensive winter grazing (IWG) workshops to help with all things related to intensive winter grazing.

Our catchment advisor team is hosting seven intensive winter grazing workshops across Otago where you can come along and get the latest IWG information, including help on management plans for winter 2025. The list of workshops are below.

You need to register your attendance to an IWG workshop. 

The workshop will consist of:

• A short presentation covering:
  • The latest IWG research findings
  • Current legislation regarding IWG (what has changed)
  • IWG Management Plan overview
  • Risk identification in IWG paddocks
  • Overview and selection of IWG good management practices.
• A Q&A session
• An opportunity to get assistance from ORC staff to complete or update your IWG Management Plan.

We recommend you bring the following to an IWG workshop:

1. Your existing IWG management plan
2. Whole farm map(s)
3. Aerial imagery of your IWG paddocks for winter 2025.
   
   

Our team will help ensure that you leave the workshop with all the updated information you need to know to give you peace of mind for the upcoming winter grazing season.
