Webinar: Capitalise on existing trees and woods on your farm

Provided by

Farmers play a vital role in managing our British countryside — and as custodians of the land, most want to leave it in good shape for the next generation. That means not just productive fields, but trees, hedgerows, and a countryside that’s rich in wildlife.

Trees are one of the best land management tools we have. They shelter crops and livestock, provide new income streams, lock up carbon, reduce pollution and flooding, and support people, wildlife and farming in adapting to climate change.

At the Woodland Trust we know there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to tree planting. With our MOREwoods scheme you get the tailored advice and guidance you need to achieve your goals.​ Where 500+ trees are planted on at least half a hectare we will visit your site, help design your woodland, create a bespoke species mix, supply the agreed trees and tree protection, and cover up to 75% of costs.
