If youre a farmer interested in planting trees, read our case study of Howards Wood in Dorset, where a 13 hectare woodland was planted in 2002 on former maize fields. The woodland manager, Helen, explained to us what benefits the woodland is now bringing, and how the wildlife and the timber crop live, grow and evolve together.
