More and more farmers in Scottish agriculture are realising the benefits that trees can bring to their farming businesses.
The Network helps raise awareness of the multiple benefits that planting trees can have on your land and business, be it:
- providing shelter and shade for livestock
- improving productivity
- diversifying income streams
- creating habitat for wildlife
- reducing your carbon footprint
Network farmers and crofters host events across Scotland. This provides an informative and supportive network for other farmers and crofters who are considering planting trees.
People come together, online and in person, to share:
- practical knowledge
- experiences and advice about the processes
- the practicalities of accessing funding and any challenges
- common objectives and outcomes of planting trees
The Integrating Trees Network is supported by Scottish Forestry and the Scottish Government.
