Description: tree plantations bordering two sides of a paddock at Woady Yalock
Helen Fagg (landowner): This plantation is approximately 10 years old, and for us it’s created a really good stock shelter belt. It’s helped us improve our pastures.
Description: Video cuts to a view of Helen standing in front of one of the tree plantations.
Helen continues: Previously it was a windswept area and very cold and wet in the winter, so it’s just added so much to the whole farm planning.
Description: aerial view of paddocks with a long narrow tree plantation and wind turbines in the background.
Helen continues: We continue to try and plant at least 1000 new trees a year, using Landmate primarily to help us plant.

Helen continues: The quality of their work has been fantastic. We get very few misses.
