For The Love Of Trees
A podcast from the Otway Agroforestry Network.
We encourage farmers to plant trees for the reasons that matter to them.
Trees on farms are important for livestock welfare and can improve the water quality in our creeks and streams.
Agroforestry trees expand and connect wildlife habitats, capture and store carbon dioxide, reduce the need to harvest our public native forests and provide regional business and employment opportunities.
OAN (Otway Agroforestry Network Ltd) is a grassroots Australian landcare group.
For The Love Of Trees
Why are we part of the OAN and what's our passion?
The Otway Agroforestry Network is a vibrant community run Landcare group that encourages farmers to establish and manage trees for reasons important to them- to shelter stock and crops; control soil erosion and dryland salinity; provide environmental services; enhance property values; and, if at all possible, generate alternative sources of income.
After 27 years of active community engagement, it is clearly evident that our approach is working and leading to landscape change.
