Case 3 Hawkswood Integrated farming and forestry case study 3: Hawkswood and Braemar, Parnassus.
Land Resource Inventory surveying armed the Chaffeys with Land Use Capability information to help them choose the way forward for their farming system.
Are you thinking about integrating forestry and farming? Using the One Billion Trees fund to regenerate natives? Have a look at what the Pinckneys have done on their farm The Gates in Waiau.
Thanks to Tony and Angela Blunt and their three strapping lads for hosting a group of farmers at Steepdown on the Inland Road.
The Blunt’s property is a great example of mitigating risk by diversifying income streams: forestry, tourism, honey and of course farming.
Putting regenerating native areas into the ETS is paying dividends; replanting is also helping with stability on EQ-stricken slopes.
The farm summary is attached. Stay tuned for the case study.
