Case Study: Wool production & biodiversity working together for Tim & Karen Wright - 'Lana'

Abstract

Tim and Karen Wright's philosophy is all encompassing and relates not only to their land, but to their lives as a whole. Their 'holistic goal' is summarised as follows: "We aim to develop and maintain our property as a pleasing, ecologically balanced environment. We also aim for a chemical-free product. By doing this we believe our wool and meat production enterprises will be healthier and more cost efficient. In turn, we believe this will lead to healthier profits for the future, as well as improving human health. We endeavour to expand the horizons and the opportunities for both ourselves and the community." This booklet details Tim and Karen's management history, resource issues and enterprises. It goes on to demonstrate the techniques and tools the Wrights use to achieve their holistic goal.
