A Lighter Touch Biodiversity Field Walk

Posted on March 13, 2026

If you’re a grower or someone interested in biodiversity planting to support pest management, we’re hosting one of the A Lighter Touch (New Zealand) Biodiversity Grower Group Field Walks at the LandWISE MicroFarm on the 19th of March from 10-12 pm.

We’ll look at our bio-strips which are made up of different mixes, were planted at different times, and have had different management. We will share what we’ve learnt about implementing biodiversity strips and mobile insectaries, and the project’s technical advisors will be there to answer any questions.

Similar events are also being held in Nelson and Levin. To find out more and to register, click here. https://lnkd.in/eZiJhaf
