The need for extensive plantings of mallees presents a crop that can provide farmers with a stable means of living. |
In 2007 we will be contributing 20,000 oil mallees in areas prone to land degradation. |
Trees and Acacia species were planted 1m apart and mallees were planted 0.5m apart in view of later thinning. |
At the moment there are 900 farmers involved in planting oil mallees, and 20 million trees in the ground. |
I sent down dhobies, sweepers, cooks, and mallees, last to dig trenches for burying the dead, when burning was not possible. |
