More than 10,000 trees have been planted on properties being supported by the Peer Group Mentor Program. In addition to this, more than 5 hectares of trees have been thinned and pruned with a view to producing high quality knot-free sawlogs.
The mentoring team met in Nannup on Friday 9 December to provide an update on the 20+ landowners around the South West who are part of the program.
Additional funding has been secured to run the Peer Group Mentor Program for another year and a brochure has been produced to promote the benefits of agroforestry and the idea of the PGM program.
The new brochure will be supplemented by a series of case studies and how-to guides covering the basics of weed control, planting design and the why and how of pruning and thinning.
Mentoring gives landowners with the contacts and skills they need to be able to get started on their tree planting projects. The Peer Group Mentoring Program is one of SWAN's core landowner support activities.
