Innovation

Throughout our project we have been exploring a number of different innovation projects that we choose to enable landowners to make better informed decisions for their environmental management.

Establishing natives using drone technology

With the cost of planting native plants so high, Otago South River Care has embarked on a innovative trial testing the cost and effectiveness of establishing native on farm using drone technology.

We've now had the chance to produce a factsheet outlining our results and we've also produced a short video, which we'd encourage you to check out.

In order to answer this question, Otago South River Care has tried a few different types out and our findings and comments are included in this report.
