Creating a Hopkins River haven for all
For the last 25 years, planting sections of the banks of the Hopkins River has been Jane’s goal – bit by bit joining the sections together form the Hopkins Falls all along the length of her farm to replace what was once removed. To get the 2000-odd trees a year into the ground, Jane has called on the community, utilizing family, neighours, and school groups to ensure the plants get into the ground so they can begin looking after themselves. It’s paying off in more than just improved production on-farm, the waterway is healthier too, as evidenced the platypus who appear at the end of this interview!
