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.
