This booklet is a pastoral land condition assessment tool that has been produced to assist land managers. To assess a given area for land condition we look at FOUR major features of the landscape: pasture structure and composition, soil condition, presence of weeds and woodland structure. Table 1 outlines how these features change with varying land condition states and what criteria must be met to assign an area to a land condition group. - Introduction,
