Glenelg Hopkins CMA Landcare Leaders series
Jeff and Morna Semmons
Planting trees in stones and how a crowbar and open mind helps.
Morna and Jeff are first generation farmers, who bought a stony block of land covered bracken that had winds that blew from one end to other with the aim of giving their children a grounded upbringing. 30 years later, they have become local leaders in Landcare who drove the need for a local facilitator of works, experts in all sorts of techniques to get trees to grow in a challenging landscape – including using a crowbar – have a crop-producing of Wattles plantation, and created a productive farm landscape which leaves a sustainably legacy for the future.
