We create new native woodland by using trees grown in our own nurseries from seeds gathered in the local area.

Rather than buy commercial seedlings :

– it is biologically better to use the genetic make up of trees living locally.  The growing trees are likely to be better adapted to the climatic and environmental conditions of the area.

– we can extend the growing process to produce older and robust seedlings.

–  it enables local communities and individual volunteers to play a full part. We want to encourage a local connection with the woodlands we create so that both the landowner and local people can feel some relationship with the resulting woodland and landscape.
