Dr Judi Earl 

​Judi gained a PhD in pasture ecology when she conducted the first studies describing the benefits to pasture composition from planned grazing. She has extensive experience in how grasslands and pastures respond to grazing and fertility management and is a widely respected speaker on these matters.
Through her consultancy business, Agricultural Information and Monitoring Services (AIMS), Judi's main area of interest is working with land managers to enhance the condition and productivity of their land through understanding of ecosystem function and more effective utilisation of available resources.
Judi has been preaching the virtues and importance of livestock for land health for over 20 years.  After advising and training hundreds of graziers and land managers, Judi decided it was time to put the principles into practice. The purchase of ‘Glen Orton’ - 'the GO' - in 2011 provided the perfect opportunity to showcase the capacity of grazing animals to regenerate highly degraded land.  

‘Glen Orton’ is 454 hectares of the most beautiful land overlooking the village of Coolatai.  The diversity of soil types and potential diversity of vegetation was a major attraction of the property.  The wonderful diverse community of inspiring and talented people here in Coolatai has been an unexpected bonus.  ​

Visit Judi's website, 'Glen Orton ~ livestock regenerating land', which aims to outline the progression of the regeneration of ‘the GO’ and provide a source of ideas and principles for anyone wishing to regenerate their own land using grazing animals.
