  • Colin’s experience: benefits and challenges of planting trees for farm management, e.g. adding value to unproductive land; managing new and old woodland (20 hectares added in 2018 –2019); his experience with Scottish Forestry grants and support; future plans
  • Basics of timber markets and demand
  • Funding for woodland creation
  • The UK Woodland Carbon Code
  • Your questions.
