Tree planting for climate and biodiversity

We're in West Wales, nine miles inland from Aberystwyth. We're surrounded by a mixture of broadleaf native woodland, planted forestry. We applied for MOREwoods last year. We planted 1,750 trees, then we've planted a hedge line with 800 trees connecting to that field, so we should have a good long corridor for wildlife.

The Woodland Trust have brought a lot of expertise in advising us on how to design our woodland and what trees we should be using and they're helping us you know in the future.

My main motivation is that I just know how good trees are for biodiversity and combating climate change. I think that hillside is meant to have trees on it and I think it would have had, the field would have been covered in trees 100 years ago. One day in my lifetime hopefully they'll be taller than I will.
