Ollie Belton presented at a Canterbury Beef + Lamb NZ field day last month which focused on integrating carbon forestry within existing farms, and the new One Billion Tree grant schemes for landowners.The event was well attended with over 100 farmers and rural sector advisors.
Media was also present and Stuff have just released an article based on the presentation Ollie jointly gave with Dave Janett from Forest Management NZ. The article is part of Stuff's Quick! Save the Planet series to combat climate change.
While the article focuses on planting radiata pine over native in terms of economic return we want to stress that radiata pine is not always the most suitable tree for promoting environmental and conversation outcomes and we encourage diversity of species including natives where possible.
