What can you expect?
We'll hear from Integrating Trees Network hosts Dee Ward of Rottal Estate, Angus, and Bruce Mackie of Rora Dairy, Middleton of Rora, Peterhead, as they share their experiences of planning and establishing trees alongside watercourses.
They'll discuss why riparian planting is important for their businesses, the decisions they made, and the practical challenges and opportunities they encountered along the way.
We'll explore how well-designed riparian planting can:
- help reduce peak water flows and diffuse pollution
- provide shade for livestock and wildlife
- help to prevent rising water temperatures
- stabilise riverbanks and reduce erosion
- enhance biodiversity and habitat connectivity
- deliver a range of wider environmental and business benefits
We'll also look at the support and funding opportunities available.
Representatives from Scottish Forestry will be joining us to answer questions and provide guidance.
This is a great opportunity to:
- connect with other land managers
- exchange ideas
- gain practical insights from those already integrating trees into their farming businesses
Bring your questions and join us for what promises to be a practical and informative discussion.
