Today it is time for Men of the Trees and its supporters to step in and help put the landscape back together. Together - each one of us, together - with our farmers, together - as a community.
Men of the Trees have set an initial target for Putting it back, together of raising $1,000,000 to enable us to work with groups of farmers in 2011 and beyond. We hope that as the program matures we will be able to replicate Putting it back, together throughout the Wheatbelt.
What will we do with the money raised?
We are working with farmer groups on Putting it back, together, implementing plantings that will fit in with the landscape, with the farmer's needs, with natural resource management outcomes in mind. The money we raise through Putting it back, together will fund seed collecting, growing of seedlings, farm design, site preparation, volunteer plantings and much more.
What are we doing?
Working with farmers and the national resource management community to plant well designed revegetation projects that will:
- Halt wind and water erosion - keeping valuable top soil in place.
- Utilise excess groundwater - to halt salinity and waterlogging.
- Act as living bridges so native fauna can move across the landscape.
- Fit in with the farmers' needs.
