Agroforestry: Making trees work on your croft

Wondering what trees could do for your croft? Join us for an online discussion with two crofters – new entrant Phil Knott, of Wildlife Croft on Skye, and Mike Hyatt, of Baleveolan Croft, Isle of Lismore – about their experience of crofting with trees. Ask your questions and hear about:

• Benefits of agroforestry for crofting operations – food production, wood and fuel, shelter for crops and livestock
• How trees can support biodiversity and improve soil health
• How to plan, fund, establish and manage trees on your croft
• Challenges and how to tackle them

Scottish Forestry and Woodland Trust will also be present to answer your funding questions.

FREE and open to all. Booking is required.
