With technologies and methods like this it frustrates me to see growers still using plastic around their roots. Air, moisture, nutrients need to be in perfect balance to get the best results and you cannot achieve that with plastic. Plastic has a tendency of heating up the root zone, is challenging to dispose of and reduces airflow. Utilizing the proper controlled irrigation system along with the potting system #ellipot is a game changer and can help reduce waste water, plastic disposal and increase growth. If done properly and you are not selling the root-mass with your plants you can reuse the substrates and complete the cycle with automated systems. This also helps reduce scope 3 emissions for ESG reporting. Happy to help any group looking to streamline their operations and improve efficiencies from substrates to automation we try and help close the loop on sustaianblity. #Ellipot Eden Water Technologies

📢 We’ve just published the first Framework for Private Native Forestry Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting   The rules for conducting native forestry on private land, including protections for threatened species, tree hollows, habitat for koalas and riparian areas are set out in PNF codes of practice. The PNF codes require a MER framework be developed and this has been overseen by the Forest Monitoring Steering Committee 👉 https://lnkd.in/gpSwuc4n   The PNF MER Framework: 🌳 outlines strategies to improve the evidence base for PNF and decision making 🌳 will improve our understanding of how the PNF codes contribute to outcomes and, where possible, identify where rules, practices or approaches can be improved 🌳 provides for cost effective and scalable monitoring   Local Land Services will develop the MER implementation plan that will detail biophysical, capacity building and socio-economic indicators, and thresholds for when adaptive management actions should be considered.   Read the report here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ggEqydgJ #monitoring #forestmanagement #forestry

The term “climate smart forestry” remains vague in meaning and use. Is it for decarbonizing the building sector? Reducing wildfire? Improving commercial forest operations? Managing public lands? Stakeholders of all kinds are monitoring the evolution of the term, and many are trying to shape the way we define it in one direction or another. Cascade's Anne Clawson took on an overview of the term for Dovetail Partners, Inc. Read her article here: https://lnkd.in/e9NGYvg4 #Forestry #Sustainability #ClimateChange #ClimateAction

"Climate smart forestry" is a popular term -- but what does it mean? Who "owns" it? I was delighted to offer my thoughts for Dovetail Partners, Inc. Many thanks to Kathryn Fernholz for the partnership. And a tip of the hat to Lauren T. Cooper for her wonderful research on the subject. What else should we be thinking about when we think about climate smart forestry? Let me know in the comments below! #Forestry #Sustainability #ClimateChange #ClimateSmart

Choose the right grinder for the right job! We've taken what we’ve learned from 20 years of forestry experience and harnessed it in one simple stump grinder tool. Today, you can choose between three different models of that simple tool, each with its own use case: 🔶 SC 850 Pro is a tool for professional users to remove large volumes of stumps with large, 14-30 tonne excavators; 🔶 SC 600 is a tool designed for cities, councils, arborists, and gardens where excavators are too big, and access is limited; 🔶 SC 400 is useful in populated places like private gardens, parks, and other tight spaces. Find the stump grinder that suits you best: https://lnkd.in/dywr6bpF #forestry #landscaping #arborist #forestryequipment #stumpgrinder

Effortless. The 6800CT makes light work of even the toughest timber. Whether you’re in forestry, landscaping, or waste management, this grinder is the ultimate solution for turning wood waste into valuable resources. High Ground Equipment #forestry #landscaping #wastemanagement

🌲🇺🇸 A freshly thinned and well maintained forest in the West Coast… isn’t it looking good? 🔥Forest fires can easily spread up trees on what’s known as a “fuel ladder,” leading to a crown or canopy fire that in most cases kills virtually all the trees in its path. Science has shown that thinning can positively impact tree growth, species composition and resistance to insects and disease, as well as the quality of forest wildlife habitat. 🌱Remember folks! A well maintained forest is a healthy forest! 📸 Thin Air Logging & Forestry Mulching #nisulaforest #forestry #machinery #logging #loggers #forestrymachinery #forestmanagement #madeinfinland #wildfires #forestfire #forestthinning #usa #caterpillar #nisula425H #forestfuelreduction Hardox® SSAB Technion Oy

America's Forests Key Takeaway: Since the late 1800s, more than 70 forestry programs offering two-year technical or higher degrees have been established at universities, colleges, and technical schools around the country. The emergence of forestry education programs have contributed significantly to forest growth and productivity.

Tribal Forestry series, hosted by Yale School of the Environment continues today. The webinar will start in less than 30min. Make sure to tune in. Title: Recent Historical Perspective of Natural Resources (Forest) Stewardship on Tribal Lands. #YSE #YFF #Forestry #environment #ClimateChange

Whilst there are a wealth on line resources, like a football programme I need something tangible to keep and refer to. This handbook (1995) still provides a great summary, not surprising as it combines the Forestry Commission's wealth of practice with the emerging experience of the Community Forests and others establishing trees in the urban fringe. https://lnkd.in/env_mnqD #landscape, #landscapemanagement, #forestry, #urbanforestry, #woodland, #community, #communityforests,
