Ian & Deb Holmes of Swanpool .
Three site - two wetlands along creeks & dams and one adding to an existing tree plantation.
Sites 2 & 3 were wetland restoration projects .
The sites had been strip sprayed and crash grazed before sowing.
We were mainly adding understorey.
The sites were wet & boggy after recent rain .
We will need to go back to the very wettest parts in early summer to complete the job .
Sowed about 3/4 of each site , on the drier ground.
Deb guided us around the property - checked out the site for the 'Green Haystacks' project ( David Millson will be direct seeding this later in 2010)
Highlights were the rare breed British White cattle and the Jack Russell Terrier puppy who bravely accompanied us .
