Bibbaringa Bootcamp: 2-Day Regenerative Rural Landscapes - May 2026

📅 May 2026 (2-day bootcamp plus online materials) | 📍 Bibbaringa (on-farm), Australia | 🏷️ workshop

This intensive two-day on-farm bootcamp at Bibbaringa (with accompanying online materials) is aimed at landholders, new and established farmers, land managers and permaculture practitioners who want an immersive, practical introduction to landscape thinking and the fundamentals of regenerating rural properties. The bootcamp focuses on practical skills and landscape-scale design thinking, exploring topics such as water management and earthworks, pasture and perennial plant integration, native vegetation and biodiversity enhancement, and creating resilient farm systems adapted to local climate and soil conditions. Participants will undertake hands-on activities, field demonstrations and live design exercises on a working property; the program is crafted to give landholders the confidence to plan and implement projects such as swales, leaky weirs, fencing layouts for rotational grazing, and sequence plantings that support soil and water health. The course design blends practical demonstrations with facilitated planning exercises so attendees not only learn techniques but also produce usable plans and next-step actions for their own properties. The bootcamp typically attracts a mix of participants—from hobby farmers and new landholders seeking practical, step-by-step guidance to experienced producers and consultants wanting refreshers on regenerative methods—making it an effective peer-learning environment. For permaculture practitioners the bootcamp is valuable because it translates permaculture patterning and ecological design principles into on-ground actions at farm scale and provides tools for monitoring and incremental implementation. The event includes online resources to support continued learning post-bootcamp and often features experienced instructors and host-farm mentors who guide participants through real-world problem-solving and site-specific decision making.
