Woodland Creation in the South West

Friday 17 November 2017, Taunton Rugby Club

This woodland creation event is aimed at landowners who want to plant trees – from small woodland blocks to large forests – to tell them what support is available and what they need to do to get started. The event will cover the benefits and challenges of planting trees and look at the economics of planting on farmland. There will be a summary of all the grants available and a chance to talk in more detail in smaller groups about the grant that you think is right for you. After lunch, we will take a look into the future to consider how your new woodland might be affected by climate change and what might happen to timber markets over the coming decades. See agenda below for more details:
