Stuart Holm
Outreach Manager
I work with the Woodland Trust to encourage farmers and landowners to plant and create woodland landscapes. Before this, I was the Leicestershire and Rutland FWAG Adviser for 12 years, giving conservation and business advice to farmers. I run a small arable farm of my own in Leicestershire and have recently installed silt capture ponds and leaky dams to help reduce peak flow and run off from my farm. I also have over 50 acres of mature woodland on the farm which I manage myself. I have been involved with several large scale agroforestry schemes and am keen to look at more innovative ways of managing our farming landscape.

Managing your on-farm woodland
It’s important to look at your woodland in the context of other trees. What’s going to be there in the long term? Don’t assume that just because you’ve got 20 oak trees, they’re all going to survive.
Agroforestry – it’s just trees on farms!
Stuart Holm from the Woodland Trust explains the basic principals of agroforestry and discusses a current research project.
