Our New Forest

In 2010 we received permission to start a new forest on our farm. This was associated with a grant from 'The Department for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs' (DAERA), Woodland Grant Scheme, to establish and maintain approximately 10 acres of mixed trees! In early spring, after the grass had been heavily grazed by sheep, we began marking out the planting lines. A digger created mounds of earth at regular intervals and into these the 12000 trees were planted. Click on the picture for larger photos.
