#Action4theLand

As a farming family that grows animals our job is to look after the animals the best we can.
Our other job is look after the land we live on the best we can.

This week Mum and I have been planting trees on the farm. 
Like everything in the world, trees get old and they eventually die. 
Or sometimes they just fall down.


Over the last 10 years Mum and Dad have fenced off areas in paddocks and planted young trees. My big sister KT and Mum and Dad planted these trees 5 years ago and now I am filling in the gaps.


The trees pictured below were planted 10 years ago, they have grown tall. 
The trees provide a home for birds and lots of other little critters.



It is important we look after the land, so it looks after us, 
it is another one of our jobs as farmers.
