I'm working with farmers who grow hops, wine grapes, blueberries, nut trees
and/or grains. Many of these sites (between 100-500 acres) are mono-cropped
or have minimal biodiversity. For farmers' ease of use, I'm creating
templates introducing islands of diverse species, or beneficial insect
attracting plant oasis's, for temperate and arid environments. The templates
can be for a multitude of crop types.
If anyone on this list works within these or similar parameters, I'd
appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks!
