Dr Susan Orgill is a leading Soil Carbon researcher at NSW Department of Primary Industries, and the Project Lead for the Rangelands Living Skin Project. Susan brings a wealth of soil expertise and knowledge to the team, looking at rangeland practices including water ponding, biological inoculants and multi-species planting. Susan is excited about the opportunity to look at carbon sequestration rates in rangelands soils, and the opportunity around natural capital. She is also delighted to work with the four core producers who have been deeply involved in the design and development of the project from the beginning.

Meat & Livestock Australia has made one of the most significant investments in the NSW Rangelands through funding the Rangelands Living Skin Project. Managing the Project is Mitch Plumbe from MLA. Mitch is passionate about putting producers at the core of the project to create outcomes that are commercially relevant and create a path to adoption. He sees the key outcomes as identifying key management practices which can be implemented to improve environmental condition, livestock productivity and business performance. As well as the benefits for producers, Mitch is excited about the high level of collaboration between project partners.

Graham and Cathy Finlayson have one of the four core producer enterprises involved in the Rangelands Living Skin Project. Along with their daughter Harriet, they manage Bokhara Plains near Brewarrina, NSW. The Finlaysons have been working on innovative rangeland practices for over 20 years, focusing on improving their ecology which is the foundation of their business. Graham is incredibly excited to be a part of the project and believes "there is no limit to doing things better", hoping his role in the project helps other producers on their journey to adopting effective grazing practices. The Finlayson's were featured in the first round of Soils For Life Case Studies: 'Bokhara Plains: Reaching the real potential of the NSW Rangelands' and it is exciting to see them continue as role models in the rangelands.
