Water recycling and resource management
Our state-of-the-art water recycling infrastructure uses reverse osmosis filtration, drawing from two large, interconnected on-site dams to maintain a consistent, high-quality water supply – even during droughts. The entire property is thoughtfully designed with gentle slopes to direct water runoff back into our dams, ensuring year-round water security for our seedlings and reducing our environmental impact. Through sustainable agronomic practices, we support healthy plant growth while continually reusing water, contributing to a greener future.

Environmental Plantings
Our expertise in growing a diverse range of seedlings supports large-scale reforestation and land rehabilitation projects. By planting native trees and shrubs, we not only store carbon but also enhance soil health, reduce erosion and provide habitat for wildlife.
