Auditing and Reporting

Specialist tracklogs and control area maps, I can identify, analyse the data and create reports to enhance your project outcomes.

I've been working in the remote backcountry of New Zealand for the past thirty years. You can rest assured I'm bush-smart, have appropriate health and safety quals, and excellent data collection processes. 

I use the latest technology, including apps and AI (if relevant) and recently have been working drones, and using LIDAR.

Is your bush block being crippled by invasive vines like old man's beard and banana passionfruit? I will deal to it. Wilding pines, sycamores, gorse, privet, hawthorn, tradescantia etc... I will survey and map the area, and present you with options for effective control, to work with your budget over desired timeframes. I will manage the whole project and you will see excellent results. 

I can create you a restoration plan including what plants will grow well on your block, apply for any funding to aid resources, source the right trees, prepare the site and get them planted for you. A critical part of this, which many planting plans don't include is the follow up maintenance of the plants so that they thrive. 

 Wish to protect your sensitive areas by putting in walking tracks, boardwalks or bridges? Call me! Leave your entire forest restoration, and the way for everyone to enjoy it, to me. 

Missing a major part of your forest understorey? Is the birdsong lacking in your native bush block? Let's get them back, and the insects, invertebrates, and lizards, by setting up a tracking and trapping network and an outcome monitoring programme to see the results. I will project manage the whole thing and draw on my affiliates to help if necessary. 

 Having grown up on a dairy farm, and living on my own lifestyle block, I'm a jack of all trades when it comes to farming. With a practical aptitude, a love for animals, and appreciation of soil science and pasture growth, if you need someone to look after your block or section for a while, I can do this for you.
