Unlocking opportunities for farm businesses – Enhancing the farmed landscape

From February to April, the Forestry Commission's South West Area Team are hosting a series of five webinars to highlight the specific opportunities that tree planting represents for farmers and landowners.

In this third webinar, we will be focusing on integrating woodland creation into farmed landscapes, in line with the UK Forestry Standard (UKFS). Learn how to make the most of your land whilst meeting environmental and sustainability goals. Expect expert insights with practical guidance on balancing productive farming with forestry, supported by UKFS principles, and real-world examples and case studies of interesting woodland design, both small and large.

Topics include:

Responding to landscape context
Applying woodland design principles
Undertaking the woodland design process.

Our speakers are:

Richard Hellier - Forestry Commission Landscape and Woodland Design Advisor
Joshua Bennett - Forestry Commission Land Use Advisor
