media
posted on 2024-09-12, 03:01 authored by Tom Mackay-Smith, Raphael SpiekermannIn this research video, we explore the results of native silvopasture trials we have done in New Zealand hill country between 2021 and 2023.
The trials were on establishing native trees in hill country in the presence of sheep and cattle.
Results of this project include:
- Survival of kānuka can vary between 70% and 100% depending on the climate, slope class, and angle.
- Verdantia Research's new tree guard for establishing seedlings in the presence of sheep, cattle, goats, and hares.
Funding
Funded by the New Zealand Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment’s Our Land and Water National Science Challenge (Toitu te Whenua, Toiora te Wai), as part of the project Silvopastoral Systems
