From the publisher
Join us for an inspirational look at UK woodlands. Together we can create a vibrant woodland sector that helps to tackle climate change, provides a huge range of natural benefits, and leaves future generations with productive, resilient woodlands to be proud of. But how? This podcast asks your questions: how do we manage our trees and woods in the best possible way? How do we make money from our trees? How do I get into forestry? Where do I go for training? What kit do I need and how do I fund it? What is the environmental impact of cutting down or planting trees? We share techniques, experiences, and stories from across the UK, from small scale to commercial enterprises. To make a difference we need everybody involved: all land managers, farmers, foresters, conservationists, smallholders, community woodlanders, woodland owners, and enthusiasts. So, whether you have 10 trees, 10,000 hectares, or simply a love of trees, this podcast is for you. Send your thoughts for future episodes to https://forms.gle/W8qFQ75EWbXJE1ZE9

S1 Ep 2Agroforestry Design with Edd Colbert & Getting into Forestry with Keziah Rose
In this episode we discuss trees on farms with agroforestry consultant Edd Colbert.Edd talks us through various approaches to incorporating trees and woodlands, and what to think about when getting started with creating an agroforestry plan for your own land. Farming and forestry have often been viewed as separate disciplines but, increasingly, the argument for merging the two is making sound economic and environmental sense.Agroforestry is an exciting way of using trees and woods on farms to assist food production and/or produce forestry products within a farmed landscape.We saw some of Edd's designs on the ground earlier in the year during the Agroforestry Open Weekend at FarmEd. FarmEd is a regenerative agriculture demonstration farm in Gloucestershire which aims to educate everyone on food and farming systems that nourish people and regenerate the planet.In our woodland livelihoods section we hear from Keziah Rose, a forester in mid Wales, about her journey into forestry.Links:Edd Colbert: https://agroforestrydesign.co.uk FarmEd: https://www.farm-ed.co.uk/Focus on Forestry First: https://www.focusonforestryfirst.co.uk/Agroforestry Open Weekend: https://agroforestryopenweekend.org/Landworkers' Alliance: https://landworkersalliance.org.uk/
S1 Ep 1What is regenerative forestry?
Welcome to the first ever episode of FUTURE WOODS podcast, where we ask our guests to go beyond sustainability to investigate what a truly regenerative relationship between woodlands and humans might look like. We uncover challenges, from the demise of the rural economy to the over simplified ‘polarized’ debates preferred by the media: “timber production vs biodiversity”, “spiky trees vs fluffy trees” – do we have to choose, or can we have our woody cake and eat it? Does size matter when it comes to forestry? Are large-scale commercial operations always worse for the environment than the little guys? And we discuss solutions, bringing our neglected woods back into management, rebuilding a ‘wood culture’ in the UK, and seeing this incredible resource properly appreciated once again.In conversation with:OLLY CRAIGAN, Land Workers’ Alliance – Woodland Coordinator CAROLINE AYRE, CONFOR - National manager for England Woodland LivelihoodsAlso in this episode, we hear from REBECCA OAKS, author of ‘Coppicing and Coppice Crafts’, ‘Greenwood Crafts’ and ‘Making Charcoal and Biochar’, who shares details of her career making a living from the woods.Links:https://www.coed-preseli.co.uk/https://landworkersalliance.org.uk/https://www.confor.org.uk/Share your ideas for future episodes: https://forms.gle/dqQMa1m2WW5mLfwv9 With thanks to the Local Connections Fund for making this episode possible.
