Introducing more trees on your farm can help offer shelter and shade for livestock, improve soil quality, help manage water flow and soil erosion and attract pollinators and other wildlife to your land. We can work with you to design a planting scheme that works for your business and land, working alongside you to develop a scheme that can be planted on less productive areas of your site.
