A three-year research project is now underway in the region to study the ground wētā in our Awatere vineyards. Plant & Food Research is looking for about a dozen growers to interview, as well as properties to visit over budburst and Jan/Feb to observe the wētā in vineyard. Join Bragato Research Institute on September 1 from 2-4pm at Yealands Awatere Memorial Hall, to hear about the study and how to get involved. To RSVP, along with any dietary requirements, please contact grower Bridget Ennals at bridget@stanleyestates.co.nz. If you are unable to attend this meeting, but want to discuss your potential involvement, please contact Jessica Vereijssen, at 021 542 249 or Jessica.Vereijssen@plantandfood.co.nz.
