Accepted wisdom from the last century was that cleared land was improved land. We now know that this belief was mistaken. Trees and their accompanying habitat provide a range of benefits to farming systems. 

​

A key part of the project will be to help farmers to understand the impact of trees on their productivity. 

​

We'll be working with some leading organisations in this space to help develop tools and approaches that farmers can use to model and assess the impact of open woodland planting projects on their farms.
