Alex Tabor's ActivAcre philosophy is all about growing the right tree species in the right place.
 
She has worked in the forestry and agroforestry industries for nearly two decades and says the livestock yield and environmental outcomes from trees planted on farms are outstanding.
 
"Growing trees is without a doubt one of the best uses you could do within the landscape," she said.
 
"But it's all about growing the right species, in the right place.
 
"As soon as you plant trees you stop the wind from blowing over your paddocks, you reduce water evaporation, and you make the environment behind the shelter belts gentler."
 
As ActivAcre's Land Assessment Manager Alex will be looking at site productivity and risks associated with plantations in the farming landscape. Her job will ensure that every shelterbelt and woodlot is bespoke to the landscape.
 
"We are doing site-specific, appropriate silviculture that will produce high quality, robust plantations," she said.
 
"The ActivAcre team is highly experienced and highly skilled at what we do, and farmers will see that in the outcome.
 
"Farmers will grow plantations that help meet the needs of their farm and work with the landscape of their farm, it's not just 'We want your back paddock', we want to make sure that what we do supports your enterprise with no cost upfront, and with a lease payment for the farm."
