POLLINATORS ON
GRASSLAND FARMS
Ti
Pollinators are vital for a thriving farm business. However these
precious insects are under threat. The good news is that we can
do something about it with a few simple management changes,
and if you are currently considering your options for future
stewardship agreements on your farm, including measures for
wild pollinators and wildlife could help your application.
Come along to this FREE event to find out what you can do
practically on your farm.
Speakers include:

establishment and management of pollen and nectar seed
mixes on farm
