Find out what the Soil Association discovered during an eighteen-month Whole Farm Tree Plan project funded via the Forestry Commission. We assessed treescapes on 30 farms around the UK to discover the value they hold, and look at ways to enhance their management through woodland creation and agroforestry.
Join the Soil Association for a farm walk looking at different agroforestry practices adopted at this working mixed farm campus in Leicestershire. As well as a tour of their tree-lined paddocks, there’s also advice on how to leverage payment schemes, including Biodiversity Net Gain and SFI, and to join our learning network.
Join us for an informative and engaging evening all about how trees can benefit your farming business now and in the future. You’ll first hear from Davy McCracken, SRUC who will share his practical experience on how trees have an important part to play in the future of our farms. Our hosts for the night Andrew Whiteford - Burnfoot Farm, Sanquhar and Matthew Imrie Hillhead Farm, Torrance who will introduce us to their farms. Sharing why and how they have successfully planted trees as part of their farm business, the benefits this has brought, as well as the process and challenges they have faced. We will have staff from Scottish Forestry and Woodland Trust joining us. Book your free place here. This is an Integrating Trees Network Event.
Join Innovative Farmers at Mindrum Farm for an afternoon learning about how willow can benefit your flock's health and growth. Advisors, researchers and host farmer Tom Fairfax will guide you through the farm, where we will discuss the latest on-farm trials, tree management, animal nutrition, health indicators and grazing management.
Tom is part of a field lab exploring how cobalt-rich willow trees could prevent deficiencies in lambs, cutting the need for supplements. Willow is known for high levels of cobalt, zinc and salycilic acid, providing valuable supplementary feed in addition to shelter, shade, water retention and carbon sequestration.
This event is a great opportunity to connect with fellow farmers and gain valuable insights.
The event is free to attend and food will be provided.
