Control Pests Naturally
Creating a pest-resistant landscape for your farm and garden
It's disheartening putting so much effort into growing, only to get our crops destroyed by insect pests.
Buying commercial pest controls and bugs to control bugs helps. Still, they are not cheap, and managing pests is becoming less predictable as the distribution, life history, and population dynamics of insect pests change due to climate change.
Creating pest-resistant landscapes, we control pests naturally by increasing the diversity and populations of technologically advanced, highly motivated insect and bird pest controllers.
Understanding how to create a pest-resistant landscape, participants apply the principles to develop a plan to for their properties.

Who benefits?
People who are interested in exploring new ways of farming and gardening. The climate, food grown, or size of the property doesn't matter – the principles are the same. Back yard growers, community and market gardeners, hobby farmers and large scale commercial growers all benefit from using this ecological approach .
Practicalities
We partner with community groups, regional and international development organisations to deliver these workshops in their region or online via Zoom or equivalent , combined with live stream video demonstrations from the field at Hill Top Farm - our learning centre.
Partners generally have extensive networks and media contacts for promotions, organise registration, the venue and catering. Our role is working with you to fine-tune the content to meet the needs of your participants.
