We did it! 27,009 native plants planted!
At the start of the EcoVineyards project we set a goal of encouraging growers to plant 20,000 native plants in and around vineyards by the end of 2020. We did it! 27,009 native plants have been planted since the EcoVineyards project began.
A big thank you to everyone who has got outside and planted some native plants. And just because we reached our goal doesn't mean we have to stop! If you get out planting over the Christmas break, let us know! You can pledge your plants here. How to register a security interest over your grapesThe Wine Grape Council of South Australia has worked with Piper Alderman to develop a guide to help grape growers understand how to register security over grapes.
Taking security over grapes secures the winery's obligation to pay your invoices on time and in full. It is also important to take steps to ‘perfect’ that security interest to maximise your chances of being paid. If you don’t take security over the grapes that you sell to a winery (and any resulting wine product and sale proceeds), or you fail to ‘perfect’ that interest you may not be able to recover the unpaid purchase price for those grapes if the winery goes into liquidation. To learn more about why grape growers should register security over grapes, read the circular from Piper Alderman. Piper Alderman have also developed a step-by-step guide on how to register security over grapes just for WGCSA members which you can also download.
