Woodland Trust re-launches its MOREwoods programme

The Woodland Trust has re-launched its MOREwoods woodland creation programme encouraging landowners to plant more
trees on their own land with the charity’s support and, in some cases, funding.
Specialist woodland creation advisers are in place to offer site visits and advice based on four decades of Trust planting
expertise, with a specific information area on its web site.
Last winter MOREwoods created 210 hectares of new native woodland across 160 sites, with planting motivated by a range of
uses from riverbank shelter for young fish to education and legacy for children, shelter belts for crops and game bird cover.
Many MOREwoods applicants are motivated by the creation of new habitat for wildlife, especially support pollinating insects,
and an increasing number of people are planting to create their own sustainable and accessible supplies of wood fuel.
The Trust has three main areas of focus for 2010 - planting for wood fuel, wildlife and trees on farms as part of productive
agriculture. It will be exhibiting at the CLA Game Fair in Warwickshire with tree planting specialists on hand each day.
With ambitious aims to increase native tree cover, the woodland charity is encouraging other landowners to plant rather than
rely on acquiring and planting up its own land. Powerful arguments back its campaign, not least an increasing array of
woodland creation grants.
Certainly few single commodities deliver a range of landowner benefits that can include carbon capture, cutting greenhouse
gas, providing shelter for stock and buildings and crops, helping cleanse and control water flows, reducing nutrient runoff and
delivering shade for livestock.
Applications are invited for a minimum of one hectare, although this can be split up into separate pockets of planting.

Over 80% of farmers and land managers are aware of the Campaign for the Farmed Environment (CFE) and
most will take voluntary action to ensure the Campaign is a success, according to a recent survey published by
Defra.
During February and March this year, over 3000 farmers across the country responded to a Defra survey on CFE. But whilst
awareness levels are high, good intentions to manage land voluntarily need to be converted into action before it is too late to
avoid the regulatory approach.
Since the survey was issued, county-based postcard campaigns and local Campaign events have highlighted how farmers
and land managers can play their part. Those visiting Cereals this year on 9-10 June should take advantage of the advice and
support on offer throughout the CFE trail. The trail has been developed by the Campaign partnership to help farmers gain a
greater understanding and provide them with advice about the voluntary management measures which can be put in place on
farm. The CFE stand (number 717) will provide an opportunity to meet the local coordinators and farmer chairs, and CFE
partners on the trail will help answer those burning questions about the Campaign. CLA 3/6/10
