Planting trees is a long-term investment in the health, productivity and resilience of your property. While the act of planting may still be a few months away, now is the ideal time to start planning and preparing for your autumn planting program, a season widely recognised as the most successful time to establish farm trees.

Following my initial report on the TreeTroff installation at Blackville Public School on 4th November, I made a quick trip
out to Blackville Public School on 15th December.
This was an opportunity for staff, students and myself to gain more understanding of the process of the TreeTroff equipment and
program...
28 Landowners attended Upper Mooki Landcare’s Creekbank Stabilization and Water Management workshop on 15th November. Presented by landowner and UMLC member Roger Ottery, and UMLC Chair Andrew Wylie, the day was well planned, enabling participants to visit 3 varying sites. These included observation of a new paddock swale with spill, use of embedded logs to direct creek water flow, and a demonstration of making and placing Rock Bags and a Rock Mattress directly into the creek. The day was beautifully catered for by UMLC members and finished with a BBQ on the creek and much ongoing dialogue. Feedback was very positive and included requests for return visits to monitor the progress of the sites.
