Agroforestry

Below is a range of resources on agroforestry. There are two case studies looking into imaginative use of hedges and a series of videos, some of which were recorded at our Forest Festival in 2023, and others from the National Trust agroforestry conference in 2024.

For National Hedgerow week, we went to look at a hedge at Low Bridge End Farm (St. John's in the Vale) that has expanded into a thriving patch of land producing fruit, Christmas trees, nuts and shelter for livestock.

"176 meters long, 5 meters wide with a gate at each end, and straight up the middle of a grass field, bonkers or what?"... Nic Renison tells the story of their wide hedge, how it came about, what the benefits have been for them, and what they have learnt.
