Project description
On a cidery estate that also produces biodynamic wine, an organic farmer grows cereals and raises hardy sheep breeds. This project aims to improve the resilience of the farm, enhance animal welfare, and promote sustainable resource management.
A triple hedgerow will be planted along a bank to define a plot boundary and create a pathway. This hedgerow will act as a windbreak, shielding both the orchard and crops from harsh weather conditions.
Furthermore, the project enhances animal comfort by providing shade for grazing sheep during hot periods through intra-parcel planting. The selected species are exclusively high-value timber trees, adding an economic and ecological dimension by offering future timber potential.
