Agroforestry Systems: Guidance for Farmers
The Woodland Trust collaborates with farmers to integrate trees into their farm businesses, providing guidance on tree planting to meet specific objectives.
Shelterbelts
A shelterbelt is a strategic planting of trees and shrubs designed to protect livestock and crops from harsh weather conditions.
- Combines different species and heights of trees to create layered protection
- Planted in staggered rows to form a living buffer against the elements
Shelterbelts help protect livestock and crops from increasingly extreme weather
Alley Planting
