Be our guest!
Hi neighbours. Is erosion a problem on your farm? Join us in Waikaretu or Cambridge to hear how poplars and willows could be the solution for erosion prone hillsides and streams. Their extensive root systems bind and hold the soil in place, and some varieties also provide shelter and wind breaks.
The field days are 9.45am-1pm. Lunch will be provided. See you on Monday 19 March at 142 Luck at Last Road, Maungatautari, Cambridge. Or come to 1386 Waikaretu Valley Road, Waikaretu, on Thursday 22 March. RSVP by calling 0800 800 401.
See you there!
