[QUOTE="D14, post: 7034214, member: 49382"] As a connected point to this the ELMS scheme apparently will have some big tree planting carrots dropped in it to increase woodland across the country. The problem I see with this is that unless that carrot is equal to the price of selling bare open arable land in your area, nobody will take the offer up because if you plant trees you devalue your land and lets face it are you ever going to be allowed to remove them even? So basically ELMS needs to pay the farmer the open land value to plant the trees whilst letting the farmer retain the ownership of it. Otherwise tree planting won't take off in majority of the country. [/QUOTE]
