For over 200 years we have taken for granted the benefits of native tree cover on our agricultural lands. Extensive over clearing in the past has left many properties exposed and vulnerable to climatic extremities.
Since 1982 Wariapendi has been assisting rural property and large estate owners to reverse the effects of land degradation and to provide for future sustainability.
Benefits of planting native vegetation include :
- Provide shade and shelter for stock.
- Improve water quality of dams.
- Provide soil stabilisation and enhancement of riparian zones.
- Provide linkage via vegetation corridors to existing remnant vegetation.
- Increase wildlife habitat and biodiversity values.
- Reduce roadside noise and soften visual impacts of surrounding developments.
- Provide a natural and pleasing environment for the client to enjoy.
