The year at MNHRZ marked significant milestones, including our first official winter walk and the most successful field day to date. Engaging with the community, we facilitated a session with Jeanette Long and completed our inaugural two-year trial, culminating in the first hardcopy of trial results. We focused on variety, management, and collaboration, while organizing a well-structured field day that attracted essential funding and sponsorship. Moving forward, we aim to address challenges and improve our funding and reporting processes for better outcomes.
