[QUOTE="Samcowman, post: 7259849, member: 36"] I think for a small proportion of people that can get their head around it agroforestry is a good idea. But I think more progress can be made on the whole by getting all farmers to change a little bit than a few farmers to totally change. I have been making a mental note of trees in ours and neighbours fields and a lot of them are old with no young trees coming through due to mostly the affects of modern Hedgecutting which just cuts everything down to one level. This are used to have a lot of elms so I’m old till they got wiped out. Now ash dieback is around chances are they might all be gone as well so in 100 years time there will be even fewer trees in our landscape. From my point of view it would be great if every farmer planted a sapling to replace every old tree they have. Ok this might not work in some areas but do we really want our descendants to not have trees at least in their hedgerows?? [/QUOTE]
