“The team from bushtekniq have been coming to our Wights Mt property over the past year to assist us in reducing the number of invasive weed species on our block.

Without the use of chemicals, using tree-poppers, weed knives, mattocks and hard work, together we have removed large numbers of Climbing Asparagus Fern, Ochna and Lantana.

The replanting with appropriate plant species is encouraging the return of native wildlife.

We are now reconnecting with our property and, with bushtekniq’s help and knowledge, we continue to learn how to regenerate and manage ‘our bit of bush’ in a natural and sustainable way.”

“I met Tali and Jono when they presented a workshop at Millen Farm a number of years ago. It was so informative and changed my approach to our small bush regeneration project - helping my husband and I to slow down and embrace a more natural way of bring back the bush. Since then Bushtekniq have provided invaluable advice and planting services. We look forward to continuing working with them into the future.”
~ Amanda, Dayboro

“Our journey with Bushtekniq started with an onsite assessment at our acreage property in May 2016. As we discussed our land management practices it soon became clear that our strategy was highly dependent on chemicals. I'm not saying we were addicted, but we were heavy users.

Jono and Tali introduced us to a new approach to land management - reforestation, mulching, making productive use of garden waste and steam weeding to name a few. Planting native, compatible trees, and encouraging native undergrowth restored many areas of our property that we otherwise mowed, sprayed or simply ignored. Through their expert advice we also benefited from the Council's Land for Wildlife Program.

After 3 years with Bushtekniq our property has changed dramatically. Our established forest areas are more complete, new areas are growing quickly, the presence of native wildlife has increased and our whole property is chemical-free (over the last 3 years, we have probably saved thousands of dollars in Round Up alone!).

Another benefit of Bushtekniq is their practical approach. This has resulted in additional uses we have made for our forests, including a beautiful nature path for walking the dog and effective screening from new buildings next door.

If you are looking to improve your property in a natural, sustainable way we would recommend Bushtekniq.”

“Bushtekniq have done such an amazing job with my creekside garden. Their bush wisdom and deep understanding and respect for the natural environment ensure that you can trust that everything they do is for the long term sustainability of not only your garden but the planet as well.”
~ Nicole, Everton Hills

“The bushtekniq team have been a very welcome discovery for us. We are caring for an acre of land in Brisbane and were at a loss of how to manage it. The approach of gardening and controlling the environment did not work, made the task an overwhelming battle, and didn't sit right for us. We needed to find a new way!! Bushtekniq introduced us to a regenerative model of land care that involves gentle removal of weed species, identification and support for the existing indigenous seed bank, and reintroduction of indigenous species. The process has allowed us to connect with the environment and to support its natural inclination towards regeneration. It has opened our eyes to a way of caring for the land that is deeply satisfying. Tali, Jono and Anna are a delight to work with. They are highly respectful and considerate of the environment and the people they are working with. They are passionate about land care and generously share their knowledge. We strongly recommend bushtekniq to guide anyone who is wanting to learn, connect with their surrounding environment, and engage in the process of land care and regeneration.”

“A big thank you for yesterday’s workshop on weeds. I know everyone enjoyed it & got a lot out of it. The workshop was not only helpful in increasing our weed awareness but it also helped reaffirm our commitment to removing weeds to encourage natural regeneration. Thanks again & hope to see you soon.”
~ Rob, Benelong Bushcare

“I would just like to pass on my admiration for Tali and Jono. I was minding my two grandsons for the weekend and as it was our landcare day I said to them that it would be very good if they came as well, which they did. The boys learnt so much about landcare from them both including the safe use of tools, plant and tree information including what can be used for food and a lot of other hands-on experiences. The tree popper was a hit! They were very encouraging to both boys. I was impressed with their commitment to land care and sharing so much information. I was amazed at just how enthusiastic the boys were for the whole morning as I thought that they would want to come home after a short while in the reserve - how wrong I was!”
~ Patricia, Lil Cabbage Tree Creek

“It was so delightful to meet you and see you working so carefully with nature. Great to share lunch and chat too. Thanks very much for your efforts here in paradise! I am most grateful. I hope to keep in touch with you, have a bush blitz to beat those weeds and hear Jono play guitar!”
~ Wendy, Armstrong Creek

“Thankyou Tali and Jono for your special dedication to our bush food garden at our child care centre in West End, Brisbane. Your tender care of all our plants and your in-depth knowledge of local plants was inspiring. I was impressed with your attention to detail and I learnt a lot from the love you have for our environment and creating a natural balance... the little seedlings are growing into robust plants. We have been watering them and watching them grow. We are looking forward to you coming back soon and teaching us more about how these plants are used as bush food. The children have been really inspired to plant more.”
~ Rachel, Rachel's Place Child Care Centre

“This is a business motivated by passion for the local, natural environment. Tali & Jono are caring, knowledgeable and diligent. You should see how hard they work!”
