An Effective way of implementing TREES on the FARM!
Watch the whole series on ''Trees on the Farm & Native Woodland'': ua-cam.com/play/PLhOM_Q_8wHEWPDNHPwz5Mt91KdoIh4cP3.html
In this video, Andrew shows us an example of Agroforestry tree planting: the creation of tree coops in grazing or crop fields. Hereby a biodiversity oasis is created in the middle of the field that can also give shade to livestock, improve drainage and field fertility, and more. The round design makes for cost-effective and easy-to-put-up fencing, protecting the trees from livestock and deer.
Once the trees are properly established, animals could potentially roam inside the planted coupe as well. This concept is developed by Andrew St. Ledger of the Woodland League.
Ireland's new Forestry Programme 2023-2027 (which is still awaiting EU approval): small woodlands on Farms are being promoted under the 'Native Tree Area Scheme' which supports the creation of small woodlands (up to 1ha) without the need for a reforestation license. Besides covering the costs of the forest creation farmers will be rewarded with a significant premium of €2284/ha/year for 10 years.

    Please don’t blame the farmers ! I grew up on a farm back in the 70s / 80s and at that time the agriculture policy was to drain the land in order to produce more grass. There were agricultural grants for drainage and “ improving” the land. Farmers were financially rewarded for doing this. We are now living with the results of these government policies in the form of flash flooding in our towns and cities. There needs to be a ban on all future land drainage and instead make grants available to farmers to plant trees. Many fields have an area of low lying ground that is prone to flooding and this is where the trees could be planted. The trees will absorb the water through the root system and transfer the water up to the tree canopy where excess water evaporates back into the atmosphere.

    Very good idea that could be called 'nature forts' where the local pest predators can wait for the next opportunity. However trees are also integral to the water table and these should be integrated with radial lines of trees that connect the 'forts' or 'coops' and provide that underground function. Bee hives, bird boxes and a pond would complete the picture.
