Situation
Planting trees is critical to help tackle climate change and nature loss, especially in the Yorkshire Dales where woodland cover is one of the lowest in England. The shortage of suitable saplings to plant in the Dales, alongside a skills shortage in the forestry sector are hindering efforts to develop a landscape richer in trees, woods and hedgerows.
Solution
The Seed to Sapling project ensures the right trees are available to plant in the Dales by creating community nurseries where native saplings are grown from local provenance seed. The project will help establish three new community tree nurseries and provide materials and training to empower local communities to grow their own trees that can be planted in local woodlands. Our Woodland Trainees will also be involved, gaining valuable new skills vital for a career in the woodland sector.
