Agriculture

Stringybark Ecological is based in Armidale, NSW and has extensive experience working with many agricultural sectors. We have delivered projects for sheep and cattle graziers, poultry industry, dryland and irrigated cropping, the cotton industry and horticulture. We understand the environment that agriculture operates in and can give realistic and practical advice and develop and deliver cost-effective planning and management to assist agriculture.

We use the concept of ‘ecosystem services’ to integrate farming and nature. Ecosystem services are the goods and services provided by nature that benefit humans. They include essential services, such as oxygen production; supporting services such as water filtration; direct goods and services such as grass for cattle feed; and cultural services such as sense of place. For more information have a look at the ‘Agbiodiversity‘ website which we developed.
