We are delighted to welcome Fe Morris from the Forestry Commission and Esther Rosewarne from the Woodland Trust. During their talks they will cover the business benefits of creating and managing farm woodlands, including alternative revenue streams from timber and carbon credits, increased livestock welfare and reduced nutrient and input run-off. Wider environmental benefits such as pollution capture, flood mitigation and increased biodiversity will also be explored along with an overview of the range and types of farm woodland systems including agroforestry. Fe and Esther will also cover woodland management and tree planting grants and what support is available.
Arrival for the event is as normal, 7.15pm for a 7.30pm start. The Lovewell Blake agriculture team will be there from 7pm if you want to get there early! There will also be a free buffet afterwards and plenty of time to catch up.
The event will be held at Halesworth Golf Club, Bramfield Road, Halesworth, IP19 9XA.
