Simon & Josi and Hugo & Pip Beamish of Awapai, East Coast Regional Supreme Winners Open Day

Awapai was severely impacted by Cyclone Gabrielle and a significant amount of work has gone into reinstating the farm’s infrastructure. Come and see for yourself how the Beamishes have improved the farm systems by having forestry on steep marginal country, and planting poplar and willow on grazed country where erosion can be managed.

Awapai has significant native biodiversity featured on the property – including five QEII National Trust Covenant blocks – and there has been significant planting in and around wetlands and riparian areas.

The Beamishes strive to ensure that all water leaving the property passes through retired areas which are closely managed to reduce nutrients and sediment.

All welcome, please join us!
