Plant Trees on Your Farm
We are helping to fund the Woodland Trust’s MOREwoods and MOREhedges schemes to help landowners plant trees and hedgerows as part of your farm’s transition to a low/zero carbon future.
The Woodland Trust are offering partial funding for planting 0.5 hectares (ha) of new woodland or more as part of the MOREwoods and MOREhedges schemes. The MOREwoods and MOREhedges schemes can bring a multitude of benefits to your farm, such as:
- Capturing carbon
- Protecting soil
- Helping to manage flooding
- Increase biodiversity
- Offering habitats for game and wildlife
You can choose to create a shelterbelt, fill a corner of a field or even plant a small wood.
The minimum requirements for the Woodland Trust schemes are:
- MoreWOODS: a minimum of 0.5ha of land to plant trees on
- MoreHEDGES: at least 100-250m of hedgerow to plant that has connectivity to woodland
