Optional field day
Field days are all about practical learning, and are invaluable element in problem-solving and knowledge sharing across the industry. So for those keen for more, this year’s Conference includes an optional Field Tour as a lead-in to the main event.
The day will start with a visit to Lentara Grove at Exeter. The award-winning property is managed using an all-natural philosophy and with an emphasis on avoiding waste via composting of olive pomace and mulching of tree prunings. Attendees will also see progress on canopy management and tree rejuvenation, following advice and demonstration pruning by industry expert Andrew Taylor.
There will also be visits to two other local groves, Village Olive Grove and Coronea Grove. Book now!
