The Hill Country Erosion Programme helps landowners manage and protect erosion-prone hill country land with practical tools like planting guides and best practice advice.

This programme is a partnership between MPI/Te Uru Rākau-NZ Forest Service, Otago Regional Council and landowners, encouraging sustainable management practices to protect vulnerable hill country. 

The three-year project fits alongside other work being carried out across Otago, particularly catchment programmes, the draft Strategic Climate Action Plan and Nature-based Solutions study.
