In partnership with Coorong District Council through the Coorong Tatiara Local Action Plan Team and Coomandook Agricultural Bureau, PIRSA’s South Australian Soils Collaboration Centre is supporting delivery of the Regional Soils School. The project is supported by the Australian Government through funding from the National Heritage Trust under the Climate Smart Agriculture Program with assistance from the Murraylands Riverland Landscape Board and through the Partnering to Implement the National Soil Action Plan program.

Soil Science Australia (SSA)'s Soil Management Training is open for enrolment and involves a hands on field training component in Lobethal.

This program equips practioners with the skills to collect, analyse and interpret soil data confidently and is designed for practitioners who provide advice to landholders, including agronomists, farm advisors, agricultural consultants and extension officers, as well as policy officers who deal with soils within their work contect.

This training can lead to a national soil accreditation. Please note that while the website asks that you complete online Modules 1 – 4  (15 hours)  before attending the field training, it's ok if you haven't got it all done. Completing the first 2 modules would suffice.
