Integrating Trees on Your Land: Introduction to Mains of Auchriachan, Tomintoul
Andrew and Debbie Duffus will introduce us to their farm and will be talking to us about their family’s new venture into woodland creation on their tenanted hill farm Mains of Auchriachan, Tomintoul. We’ll discuss the initial thought process, the decision to plant trees, objectives, challenges and benefits etc. Also how future plans for woodlands creation/shelter belts are evolving alongside their livestock enterprises. We will also have a speaker from Scottish Forestry joining us to discuss funding and first steps to woodland creation. As this will be a farmer-led network please come along and bring your questions and ideas to help us guide future event topics. (Photo credit & copyright: Anne MacPherson)
