Farm Walk: Benefits and Incentives of Trees on Farm

The Bristol Avon Rivers Trust and the Forestry Commission invite you to join us to discover how trees can benefit your farm business.

We’ll be hosted by George Ford and his family at Nempnett Farm, where we’ll be looking at how to incorporate trees into the farmed landscape. George is a 6th generation livestock farmer who uses regenerative farming techniques to produce high quality food whilst enhancing nature on the farm.

We’ll be covering:

• Ways to incorporate trees on farm, including: shelterbelts, woodland and agroforestry
• Deer management & the venison market
• Grants and incentives available
• Tour of Nempnett Farm and their recent tree planting projects

A delicious lunch will kindly be provided by our host - Nempett Pastures.

This event will offer the chance to meet the facilitators of the Chew, Cam and Wellow Farm Cluster, your local Forestry Commission staff and network with like minded farmers.

Please bring suitable clothing and footwear for the farm walk. We look forward to seeing you there.
