On Monday 6th November at 10am, we invite farmers from the Ryevitalise catchment area to join us on a Farm Walk organised at a local farm in Gilling East, where we will explore the benefits and practicalities of integrating trees into your farming systems. We will discuss how more trees can be grown whilst sustaining strong productivity of your farmland.
The event will be introduced by the McLane family who will summarise the projects they have undertaken.
Headline speaker, James Ramskir Gardiner will then take over – speaking as national agroforestry advisor for the Forestry Commission. He will be joined by members of the woodland team from both the North York Moors National Park Authority and local Forestry Commission, who will together present opportunities for integrating trees, explaining the funding and support that is available.
Discussion Topics Include:
- Introduction to the concepts of integrating trees into your farm system (agroforestry) and making the most of your existing farm woodlands
- Grant opportunities for integrating trees through the National and local schemes
- Research and evidence showing how trees can benefit livestock and agricultural productivity
- Design considerations when adding trees into your farming system
- Farm walk looking at how an orchard has been created and fruit trees added into hedgerows, along with more mature wood pasture
