Established as an agroforestry farm and Arboretum to show farmers that good quality timber trees can be grown on farms and provide valuable shade and shelter for farm animals.
Of the 10,000 trees planted over the last 28 years, the diversity of species is such that the property has become an arboretum. More than 130 species of tree and shrubs are now growing on the property.
The property also provides a sawlog resource to local sawmills and the timber industry with its wide variety of both native and exotic trees.
Planning application and concept designs underway for the construction of a visitor centre for the Arboretum business, ideal to include furniture maker workshops and crafts gallery.
Native bird life is now abundant and many species nest on the property so ecotourism and bird watching all real possibilities.
Soil temperatures tend to be lower in high summer because of the shade created by the trees. This could be considered environmentally beneficial.
Four permanent dams have the basis for aquaculture. Currently four types of native fish reside in the dams:
Murray Cod
Bass
Yellow belly
Silver perch or Macquarie perch.
There is also Carp in the house dam and it is believed that they may have come in as eggs on the feet of ducks.
A fifth dam has a small catchment and while it fills readily in the winter it does not have a big capacity for fish.
Many other enterprise activities are available. Immediately from Hay, Cropping, firewood.
Easily established would be a Seed orchard for native and deciduous; Pine thinning; Pulp for MDF; Educational/tourism tours (with or without Visitor’s centre); Supply of trees for landscaping homes and suburbs; Supply of trees for farms and cities; Raw logs and Timber Furniture; Truffles; Horseriding; Hazelnuts; Cattle or sheep; Fishing for Recreation and Tourism
