Snuggly shelterbelts

Look who got into the shelterbelt yesterday...I think she was looking for grubs, but in the process of digging them up she disrupted a couple of our newly-planted natives!

They might be small at the moment, but in a few years these trees will provide valuable shelter for the pigs (and us).

Shelterbelts keep animals warm and protect crops. Our pigs will be able to use all their energy for growing, rather than shivering in the cold winds.

More on the science of native shelterbelts coming soon to the blog...
