Thinning Old Man Poplars

In winter 2009 work was carried out at a property on State Highway 1, in the Rangitikei District. The work involved thinning the Old Man Poplars (OMP) that had not been managed over their lifespan. The trees were starting to cause problems on the farm by falling and making it unsafe for stock and farm personnel.
