January 2020 - Greening Marlborough

NEW ZEALAND WINEGROWERS INFO SHEET

Let’s transform Marlborough’s vineyards, one tree at a time

“Planting our Forgotten Corners is about having hopping spots for native birds and insects across our vineyards. Viticulture limits diversity, so you try to put back wherever you can.” Nic Dann, Sustainability Business Partner, Pernod Ricard Winemakers

“Enhancing the landscape with native plantings was part of our desire to farm in a more natural way and create a healthier working environment for family, staff and visitors.” Ivan Sutherland, Partner, Dog Point Vineyard. Photo: David James

“Forgotten Corners are the annoying space that every vineyard manager has, whether it’s a funny shaped piece that’s not big enough for vines, or a drain you have to spray twice a year. It’s an opportunity to plant natives instead” Matt Oliver, Environmental scientist, Marlborough District Council In the past, trees and shelter-belts have

been cleared to make way for vineyards

but not all the land is planted in grapes.

Forgotten corners of awkward shapes,

strips along fence-lines, road boundaries

and around vineyard buildings are all

good candidates for planting up (and

reducing mowing and spraying).

While grapes are core business for

winegrowers, there are good reasons to

plant other things on vineyards too:

Biodiversity – encourage beneficial

insects and bring back native birds

Carbon credits – planting to help offset

your carbon emissions

Marketing – customers are looking for

environmental responsibility

Scenic value – a nicer place to work and

live

Good neighbours – enhance the

landscape for locals and visitors

Greening Marlborough is a new landscape-scale planting programme supported

by the Marlborough District Council, New Zealand Winegrowers and promotes the

values of Te Ao Māori.

By providing grants for growers to plant more native trees on vineyards, Greening

Marlborough aims to boost biodiversity and improve the landscape. Many of the

selected plant species are taonga (treasure).

MARLBOROUGHPlanting for Nature

We are kaitiaki (guardians) of this taiao (environment). Greening Marlborough is a way to

connect people with the natural world and integrate kaupapa Māori with conservation

and environmental management: “Kia kotahi mai - People and nature as one”.

TYPICAL SPECIES LISTRiparian Margins/stream edges etc: 01. Pūrei / Carex secta (Tussock Sedge)Pockets/flat areas: 02. Mānatu / Plagianthus regius (Ribbonwood) 03. Hohere / Hoheria angustifolia (Lacebark)

OVERVIEW.Plant Carex secta on the margins of streams and ponds to create shade, habitat for invertebrate and biodiversity. Where possible on adjacent flat areas plant small groups of Plagianthus or Hoheria. Plant root trainer size plants with biodegradable plant guards (Emguards) for protection from predators and reduction in maintenance costs. They also reduce water loss and provide a favourable micro-climate for growth. Fence off riparian margins if livestock present.

Riparian Margins / Stream Edges

Wetlands

Entrance Boundaries

Vineyard Building Edges

Dry Banks

OVERVIEW.These are unmanaged or unused areas including low lying wetlands and left over areas in vineyards or around buildings. Planting and managing these areas reduces weed infestation and increases biodiversity.

Once established, plantings require considerably less maintenance than unplanted areas

OVERVIEWPlant clusters of smaller growing native species (cabbage tree, pseu-dopanax, kowhai) at entrance ways. Underplant with muehlenbeckia, coprosma virescens and toetoe. Or use exotic specimens (plane, liquidambar, eucalyptus) for height. On boundaries plant clumps of muehlenbeckia with coprosma virescens and pseudopanax with self seeding poa cita on edges.
