Hello from the team at FuturEcology & EmGuard ™.

What an incredible month it has been. Dunedin shivering in snow last week and Nelson suffering a river of rain three weeks ago. It certainly makes for interesting, if somewhat challenging times.

Welcome to the August 2022 update.

The Ōhau Conservation Trust has planted about 3500 native plants alongside Lakes Ōhau and Middleton in the last 10 or so years. The Trust started using EmGuards in 2019, after deciding the days of plastic and wire plant protectors were over!

Hello from the team at FuturEcology & EmGuard ™

As Matariki draws to a close, we hope you have all been able to take the time to reflect on the year that has been, and look ahead to the next 12 months.

We hope you are staying dry. If you are like us and in the middle of your planting season, I am sure you are a little over the rain. Here we were, worrying about a green drought and how dry the ground was when we started the planting season and now we are awash with mud.

Hello from the team at FuturEcology & EmGuard ™. Read about our new product - TerraMulch Mats, our plantings, weed of the month and more.

In 2019, Mike Aviss from Marlborough District Council (MDC) introduced FuturEcology to Lucy Marshall from Patriach Vineyard Limited Partnership.

The 73 hectare vineyard, owned by My Farm Investments, has three areas identified as significant wetlands by MDC and My Farms were very keen to work at restoring these wetlands to their former glory.

Welcome to the April newsletter as we enter the run up to Easter and Anzac Day celebrations. Let’s hope this lovely weather continues for the break, and the it rains so we can all get started on the winter planting season.

Welcome to the March newsletter, and I hope you are all enjoying this Indian summer.

Altimarloch Vineyard is situated in the mid Awatere Valley Marlborough. The former sheep farm has been converted on the terraces to productive vineyard but amongst this are wetlands and escarpments that the management of Altimarloch wish to restore.

We were sent some photos from Vicki Smith, an artist and environmentalist who is currently working with South Westland school on a restoration project.

Over the last two years FuturEcology Ltd has been working with the Kidson and Ussher families on their Wakapuaka properties after they were successful in 2020 in gaining funding for a large scale planting and restoration project along the banks and tributaries of the river.

FuturEcology Ltd has been contracted to restore an area on Rough Island for Tasman District Council and Waimea Water. The aim is to convert former pine forest land to coastal lowland forest.
