Ian Brennan is proud to call himself a “tree pervert”.
Brennan has spent 18 years planting continuous cover native forestry on his Te Miro hill country farm after he witnessed the impact of soil erosion first hand.
“A big lump of earth came tumbling down past me,” he told fellow farmers at a field day held earlier on his Maungakawa Road property near Cambridge
“I thought, have we bought a lemon?”
