Trees on farms

Planting trees gives many returns – financial, providing habitat for native species and creating a landscape we can all enjoy. The secret of successful results is to match the tree to the use and locality, and manage it in the right way.

‘Trees on Farms: a guide with local experience of growing trees in the Waikato Region’ covers a range of aspects of selection, establishment and care of trees on farms. It also includes comments and case studies from land owners who attended one of four ‘Trees on Farms’ workshops, sharing a range of different local experiences. You can view or print the report from this page.

You can also check out our publications to order a printed copy of the ‘Trees on Farms‘ book.
