Why Poplar and Willow?
Rapid growers, with vigorous root systems that stabilise slopes and protect vulnerable hill country
Proven performers, reducing soil loss by up to 95% compared with unprotected land
Low disruption to farming, planted as poles directly into pasture, no loss of productive paddock
Provide on‑farm benefits, offering shade and fodder for stock during dry periods or heat stress
Bred for resilience, including strong form, vigour, possum and rust resistance, timber potential, and tolerance to dry conditions
Long‑term protection, helping prevent erosion that can take hill country decades to recover from.
