Woodland creation case study: Hilley Farm.
Mandy Stoker Jones of Hilley Farm shares how they have incorporated woodland and trees into their farm. With 4-hectare woodland, trees planted in pockets of land deemed unfit for arable or grazing, and areas of agroforestry, the trees provide numerous welfare benefits for their cattle.
The woodland has been registered with the Woodland Carbon Code and will provide a legacy for future generations to enjoy.
