ESRM and LEAF Planning

Our work delivering the ESRM process in the rangelands of WA, SA and QLD has extended regenerative pastoral practises and principles to over 100 properties representing over 19 million hectares.

Grounded in current science, the process maps and documents a land manager’s own ideas and goals for the management of an area, and devises strategies and activities to help them achieve those goals, while maximising the positive NRM outcomes for the area.

A strong focus is on maximising rainfall use efficiency of landscapes through total grazing management, fire management and mechanical rehydration techniques.

Where stakeholders have conflicting management ideas and goals, the process allows for frank discussions and identification of commonalities to generate a strategy that provides a sound compromise for all, whilst working within a best practise NRM framework.

The plan identifies the critical parts of the landscape from an ecological and cultural perspective and lays out management actions for each.

This process is highly regarded within the pastoral, mining and indigenous land management industries as the ‘gold standard' of landscape management plans.
