Showcasing the Keen family farm, at this interactive field day you will learn about the different ways of integrating trees into your farm system, a tour of the Keens property, and develop an understanding of the emissions trading scheme (ETS).
The day will focus on opportunities to integrate trees on farms, the potential to generate a return from the ETS, and/or localised tree-planting or land-retirement funding programmes.
Farmers will leave the four-hour field day with a clear idea of which options they wish to explore further.
