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.

For The Love Of Trees
What are the environmental benefits of tree growing?
OAN (Otway Agroforestry Network Ltd) is a Landcare group based in southwest Victoria, Australia.
The Network educates and encourages landholders to establish and manage trees on their properties for all the reasons important to the landholder whether it be for sheltering farm stock and crops, controlling soil erosion and dryland salinity, enhancing property values, sequestering carbon generating alternative sources of income and all the while reaping many and varied environmental benefits for the property and the wider community.
For over 27 years of mentoring landscape change, it is clearly evident that the OAN approach is working.
