FAS TV S6 Episode 10
This week on FAS TV, we visit two Scottish farms that have successfully integrated trees for different purposes. Andrew Whiteford at Burnfoot Farm uses large-scale forestry for commercial gain, livestock management, access and shelter, while Katharine and David Lowrie at Auchgoyle Farm are focused on restoring a diverse and resilient landscape for wildlife and biodiversity. We also hear from Scottish Forestry’s Lyn White about the benefits trees can bring to farming and crofting businesses.
FAS TV covers a wide range of topics across sectors, as well as regular updates on regulatory and policy changes.
