[QUOTE="holwellcourtfarm, post: 6721390, member: 42914"] Thanks Constructive feedback is always good :LOL: The hour long web meeting I followed it with was even more interesting. I may have mentioned that I'm now part of the 25 strong CIWEM natural Capital advisory panel and this was my first meeting, a special one called to consider the impact of the general election result. Much of the discussion was around the manifesto tree planting commitments and a draft paper we considered on advice to DEFRA on policy for tree planting. I'm the only "practitioner" on the committee, they are mostly consultants. Several have been involved in pitching trials to DEFRA for NELMS. I made the point strongly that trees are not always even the best option for carbon capture on land, let alone when you add in food security to the assessment. I was well received and will be part of their group working up a position paper recommending how tree planting sites are assessed and planned. I made a big point of adding Silvopasture and Agroforesrty into the mix alongside pure woodland. Now I just need to find a way to get paid for all this advocacy. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
