Plant trees – Woodland Trust
Resource explained
This webpage of the Woodland Trust outlines the opportunities that are available to farmers and landowners through taking advantage of what the Woodland Trust can offer.
Findings & recommendations
- If you are looking to plant large numbers of trees on your farm, the Woodland Trust can offer you grants and funding schemes (such as the MOREwoods and MOREhedges schemes), tailored advice, and trees and tree protection.
- There are tailored tree packs available (free for community groups and schools), to help you plant the right trees for your land and soil conditions, select trees according to how you intend to utilise them (i.e. for hedgerows, food, fuel, aesthetic value etc.), and to help encourage biodiversity.
