Monoculture plantation forestry impacts

  • 1.  Monoculture plantation forestry impacts

    Posted 27 days ago

    Hello everyone,

    Our primarily agricultural district is seeing a large upswing in the number of blocks being sold for monoculture forestry plantations. 

    Previous land use primarily grazing, with some cropping. 

    I'm really interested to hear from others who may have experienced this in their region - what you learnt/observed, impacts on community/agriculture/biodiversity/pests/water quality. 

    Also interested in any relevant studies that may help us navigate the coming changes. 

    Finally, have you run any successful projects on or in partnership with the plantations?

    Keen to hear your thoughts!
