Why plant trees: Is woodland creation for me?

This episode focuses on the key factors to consider when determining if woodland creation is the right move for you.  The UK Government is very keen to see much more woodland planted across the country as one of the ways to tackle the climate change issue. But creating woodland is essentially an irreversible decision, so landowners need to think carefully about if and where they do it. What will you hear?Graham Clark, CLA Senior Land Use Policy Adviser, will explain the benefits of planting trees on your land, the types of grants available and how to apply for them, and the regulatory approval needed to get started. Graham will also talk us through the ongoing management that is required, and what factors to consider when deciding which trees to plant and where to plant them.
