Skink



These Copper Skinks are under most of our firewood and brush piles.  I have been making special piles for them so that when we take our firewood they still have a place to live.

Sheep fodder


Late summer when a lot of the nutrients have dropped out of the grass and the worm population is peaking we feed out from our shelter belts.

Kinuyangi a Japanese fodder willow is perfect. It coppice's, has lower tannin's than other willow and the sheep love it.

After they have had their fill we let it dry and use it for rocket stove fuel, bow making and whittling projects.
