Pastoral Range Research Bursary

This bursary is offered in 2026 to encourage research, development and extension for improvement of grazing-livestock industries. This has been inspired by the passion of a rangeland scientist, who through a grazing-livestock industry consultancy, provides the type of thought-provoking and evidence-based information required to promote sustainable, productive and profitable industries: “Australia’s ruminant livestock industries need people with the knowledge and skills for long-term success – Dr Dionne Walsh (Range IQ)”.
