[QUOTE="Rossymons, post: 7604372, member: 46510"] We looked at it including the option of selling the carbon credits. You get decent money up front to plant the trees but that money has to be spent on planting the trees. So no gain there. There is the maintenance grant for 10 years plus the carbon credits which can be traded. You have to be verified for creating the credits, the credits have to be validated and can only be traded every 5 years. You can't cut down the trees for any extra income. My fag packet maths came in at less £100/acre across the first 10 years after which you lose the management grant. Given I can rent it out or farm it myself and make more money from it as well as keeping it farm land and not growing someone elses tree's we pulled the plug on the 20 acres planned. [/QUOTE]
