Creating a Nuttery in the Drylands

During the 25th anniversary celebrations at Sunseed in October, volunteers and staff were hard at work to prepare the ground for a new nuttery...

Preparing the drylands. Ari, Nye and Leen start digging out a rainwater-catchment so that future trees can be irrigated, while Amy plants a fence of young agaves to protect the area












The agave fence begins to take shape
Happy faces all round as the water-catchment nears completion
 
Martin, Alice and Ari with the finishing touches
Amme sorts out an irrigation system
The finished product. Now all we need is some rain...

Thanks to Nye for the photos!
