🌲🌲🌲Cash cropping trees in Scotland is an established and growing part of the landscape. Last week, Dec 2025, we joined our lovely partners Eadha Enterprises who are planting 3,400 CAP funded broadleaf trees🌿🍂within a 4.5 hectare conifer plantation to help soften the impact of the next tree crop. The trees will help boost cover & provide forage for wildlife 🕸🦡🐞🦋 and give walkers🚶‍♂️pathways to enjoy. Tree species will include Sessile Oak, Hazel, Rowan, Eared Willow,

A healthy 6,500 CAP funded trees are starting life under the watchful eye of our attentive planting partners at Trees for Life a stone's throw from Loch Ness 🤸‍♀️🌿🍁💫 They are currently spread through the various stages of stratification, germination, growing in polytunnels & hardening up at the Dundreggan Tree Nursery preparing for planting out in the spring when the ground is softer. These trees are bobbing along their life journeys thanks to the incredibly generous fun

Planting Season is here 🤸‍♂️ and the first 3,000 CAP funded trees have gone in to Ham Hill Country Park 🍁🌿💫 Planting teams led by the Somerset Council (headed up by the indefatigable Paul McNeill🌟) planted over the week through myriad weather systems. This was project was made possible thanks to generous funds from Stink Films , ProdCo , Biscuit Filmworks , Academy Films & BBH with special thanks as ever to our partners (and planters) at Scout Productions .

Winter Trees in the CAP field. This small one acre field was planted by the CAP team five years ago with 500 native mixed trees including oak, beech, field maple, hawthorn, rowan, wild cherry, goat willow, dog willow and blackthorn. It was thanks to the brilliant Woodlan Trust's MOREwoods scheme. It is now looking thoroughly established and rather lovely🍃🐞🌿🦔 #plant #carbonaware

Over the last few weeks volunteers from our brilliant planting partners at @treesforlifeuk and from the @woodlandtrust have been scooping up bumper crops of acorns, hazel, alder, elder and hawthorn seeds 🐿✨on the Western Isles in Scotland. These tiny nutty powerhouses are now being carefully stratified (kept in ideal conditions to encourage germination) ready to sprout into strong young trees by Spring 2026–2027. 🌱 Why gather local seeds? Because they carry the unique genet

This is the Argyle Street Ash in Glasgow that has won #treeoftheyear2025 . David Treanor from Gasgow who manages it nailed how mind blowing the tree is… * It’s 175 years old * It’s watched horse drawn carriages 🦓 through to Teslas and white vans 🚚 * It’s older than the light bulb💡😮 It makes the mind boggle at what our old trees 🌳 have stood by and seen. They are the only living things that link us so completely through history, to our ancestors, to family who may have go
