Erosion control is the practice of preventing sediment and nutrients from entering waterways, preserving your valuable topsoil. This page highlights that reducing erosion leads to improved grass growth and milk production by keeping topsoil in paddocks. Moreover, it enhances water quality and provides shade and shelter for stock when you use erosion-control trees like hybrid willows and poplars. This helps you protect your farmland and boost its productivity in the long run. Take action now to reduce erosion and reap the benefits.

Taking action to reduce erosion will prevent sediment and nutrients from entering waterways and protect valuable topsoil.
