🌳 Storm Éowyn knocked down my forest. 📜 I have a thinning licence, but now they say I need a clearfell licence. ✅ Check with your local forestry advisor, but if you have a thinning licence, it can now be used as a clearfell licence. #StormÉowyn #Forestry #TreeFelling

🌱 Agroforestry is a tool to prevent soil erosion! 🌾🌳 Integrating trees into arable and grass lands, it stabilises soil, reduces runoff, and protects against extreme weather.

It is great to see the NeighbourWood Scheme now open. There are opportunities to undertake #NativeWoodland Conservation work within the Scheme which hopefully many in both public & private sectors will avail of, in the process of creating or upgrading amenity facilities. ⬇️

🌳🐑🐄 Farmers planting trees under the FT8 Grant should consider using 1.8m fox wire/wire mesh guards instead of 1.5m . The taller guard may reduce the need for costly perimeter deer fencing. 🦌❌ #TreeProtection #FT8Grant
