GIDYEA THICKENING

Dec 7, 2022News, Videos

We talk to Doug and Lauren Tindall from Janet Downs and Gaza. They discuss the problems they are having with Gidyea Thickening, the commercial cost of the spread and what they do in an attempt to keep ahead of it.

The impact of tree thickening on sustainable pastural or environmental values is hard to define. Controlling the loss of pasture is made difficult by cost and access to government approvals. To those threatened, loss of pasture impacts on their economic sustainability.

Doug and Lauren share their concerns around Gidyea Encroachment.
