[QUOTE="NewFarm, post: 7884639, member: 4400"] Planting trees here. Native species for coppicing use on farm into margins, or fruit and nut trees into old orchards. The above isn't funded by any grant or scheme, I aim to plant 100-200 trees each winter. Interestingly most farm tenancy agreements in pre-industrial times mandated that tenants plant a number of trees per year, encouraged the production of timber trees, and also controlled frequency of harvesting (typically pollarding) trees for fuel. Comments above re:grassland sequestration of carbon, I'd agree that grassland soils store huge amounts not carbon. Most will have higher soil OM over than most arable fields, however, unless you are managing the land in such a way that the soil OM is increasing year on year, there is no real sequestration of carbon.
