In the UK, an initiative has begun to plant more than 50 million trees from Liverpool to Hull, and the country's farmers are asked to participate.
Farmers are offered the opportunity to become part of the huge new Northern Forest project with subsidized incentives for tree planting.
Over the next 25 years, the Woodland Trust and Community Forest Trust will plant millions of trees connecting the forests of the north of the country.
As part of the forest fund project, the Woodland Trust will cover up to 85 percent of the costs for those who want to plant more than half a hectare of forest on their land.
Emma Briggs, who leads the MOREwoods Foundation project, says farmers and landowners are an “integral part” of this vision.
“There are many reasons to plant trees. They improve soil quality and stability, slow down floods, provide shelter for crops and livestock, attract pollinators and can provide additional cash crops, a fuel source and a wildlife home, ”said Emma Briggs.
Landing applications are currently being accepted between November 2019 and March 2020. Candidates should be prepared to plant on treeless lands with a density of 1,000 to 1,600 trees per hectare.
