• Looking after newly planted trees
  Whether part of a forestry scheme or an agricultural environmental scheme, many landowners planted trees on their farm this winter or plan to later this year. Once the site is chosen, tree species decided and the trees are in the ground, it’s sometimes easy to feel like the job is done. However, ensuring that these small trees grow successfully requires some timely care and attention.
