This special episode comes from our mates at the REX (Rural Exchange) podcast — New Zealand’s go-to show for everything agribusiness and rural news. In this episode, host Dom George talks with Ian Brennan, one of the winners of the inaugural Growing Native Forests Champions Awards.  They discuss his decision to abandon his eighteen-year career in the IT industry for a life among the trees and his time living and working in Scotland. They also talk about his property, Cassie's Farm, just outside of Hamilton and the farm's unique, low-impact, continuous cover forestry model.
